1/ Got a contract for a gig that should run the rest of the year. Contract was typical lawyer boilerplate (which I read all of, bc sperg), but also one clause: if we decide your work isn't good, you keep working for free (maybe forever!) to make it good. Noooooooope.

2/ So, grabbed a sharpie and a ruler, drew a big black line through that clause, initialed the line, signed the contract, scanned & emailed it & sent a polite email to the team along the lines of "hey, YOU guys are great, but the people who buy your firm some day may not be".

3/ Given that the people involved are great, I imagine that they'll be a short conversation w the lawyer ("dude, relax") and things will move forward. Of course, 1% chance that corp lawyer is an !#@-hole and doesn't bend, in which case gig-hunting proceeds.

You signed the contract. Do you really think they're going to look at it after that?

eh, I specifically called out the change because these are people I know and want to have 100% of cards on the table

I still think they're just going to put it into the file folder called "Contracts" and never look at it again.
