  A valid stance.  Perhaps I should have done that.  I don't know.  But, I
made my decision and for the moment, I'm sticking to it (I think I have to)

  It does, I understand that these contracts are common in sub-contracting
arrangements.

   Often I'll require an advance, which I did get in this case.  (Not sure
if I said that).  Since this was a relatively small project, I gave up
fighting the 'unfavorable' contract terms in favor of the advance.

  Although, as we get closer to the deadline, I'm starting to get a bit
worried.
