@wilson 

as I said, it was a friend, though i had similar incidences way back in 06, 
well, am so mad yet this wasn't me. I just hope I would have the composure to walk away with the cheque or the decency of not  triggering a dead man's switch from my phone after cashing it.:-)

Joe,

I think and believe we are the smartest of all industries so the worst you could do was to create a bug and when they call you back to fix it, then you demand a new contract. The best you could do was to know how to read a contract!... how could the money part miss you?

Lesson #2:    Repeat lesson 1

You can also  get free copies of sample contracts  to guide you in passing lesson 1 & 2 from www.docracy.com

Well tried to help myself but couldn't, had to share this from a friend,

(1) Did a job, agreed quote [50k] a DB and a website
(2) Finished the job, the lawfirm wrote a contract on which the pay was 30k.
(3) Pal->What about the 50K we agreed upon?, lawyers-> we never had a contract on that. 
(4) Lawyers -> take it or leave it 30k cheque is ready after you train us.
(5) Pissed he trains vowing never to do this kind of job again
(6) After training -> here is your 27k cheque ->we paid 10% to KRA on your behalf.

Well this story is so real and so kenyan.... 
Guys I guess we should all know how to protect ourselves not so much from other business owners but those who seemingly
seem to fight for rights (this was a firm that deals with 'human rights of soughts').

Sorry to lawyers here, I know you are all so good and never take advantage of the non-legally-minded
