Well I am in Canada! Anyhow, the situation is that I am doing mods on a site someone else built and not a HUGE contract. Just a few hours a week.

Thank you all for your input and I apologize to the list for the OT subject. -Frank ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Stevenson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, June 05, 2003 4:38 PM Subject: Re: Contract Question > Hey Frank, > > Yes you can be held liable for what's called "errors and ommisions" which is > basically...your mistake costs the customer money.
