Hi, My definition of a contract is a document where A agrees to do B (eg, pay a sub) if X does Y (eg, deliver a service). If X doesn't do Y or does it in a way substantially different from the way described in the contract A may have grounds not to do B (ie, pay the sub). However the devil is in the detail, is what is delivered sufficiantly close to what was agreed to constitute Y? I suggest you get a lawyer to read the contract :-) . Regards, John Smith.
