What’s In A Contract Anyway?
•When you get a copy of
the registrar's contract, read
every word and try
to imagine the worst possible
scenario. Some time back when I was casting about for a registrar, one sent me a
contract which stated the following for audit
costs:
•XXXXXX
"reserves the right to increase charges during the certification period".
•Another said:
"...approximately 45 days prior to the anniversary date of certificate issuance, XXXXXX shall notify the
client in writing of the annual costs to
maintain the certificate."
•These appear to me to be licenses to steal. It would seem
prudent to get these things tied down in your initial
contract.
•Remember: Contract Review!
