Thank you all for your thoughtful responses! Considering the potential client has also asked for some other contract changes that would increase my liability to them, I&#x27;ve decided to stand firm and not give in to any of their contract change requests. We&#x27;ve been working on getting a deal together for 6 weeks now and I&#x27;ve found them quite inexperienced with technical matters so far. I think this translates into a lack of trust towards me, though I don&#x27;t get the feeling there&#x27;s any malice or ill-will behind it. So if they insist on their proposed changes to the contract, I will happily walk away. Thanks again for your thoughts!
