So does that means to say a self drafted contract is still valid
when it comes to legal action? if let say the freelancer nv submit
any work can go according to contract to do the claim (as in
legally)??
Yes. The self drafted contract is valid. However, there are a
lot of holes in a self draftcontract. Is the exact work to be
done stated clearly (quatifiable), along with sitpulated completion
dates? This is one of the most impt paragraph in the
contract.
To claim against the freelancer, u've got to get a lawyer urself
to file the case. The costs can be very high and may outweigh the
compensation u can get back. And depending what u actually write on
the contract, it may or may not help u.
I suggest u make the freelancer believe that u are going to
claim against him no matter what, and u hope that he completes the
work or pay back the monies.
