asp.net business/legal question
-
Releasing the code to us "for free" is unfair because they have supposedly spent "$70,000" developing it. basically trying to get us to purcahse the code we already paid them to write. We would only hold the rights to use this in house, so purchasing it for any price seems unfair on our end. I personally thought the original price of 20k was excessive, and that was before i knew we didnt have the code to make changes. They currently use our site to advertise their services on their own website, and use it as an example of the product they sell, which is what they developed on our bill. So right now all our lawyer can think of is pulling our info from their site, as we never agreed to let them use us to advertise, nor did they ask. I am looking for feedback on the following: a) this deal is not indicative of typical asp.net contract work b) we have legal recourse in the matter c) technical workarounds for having a asp.net site compiled into a dll Thanks ahead of time for the community's expertise, I personally have never been involved with a legal matter like this.
