A while back I was presented with a contract to work as a subcontractor for a small IT body shop. The contract had a clause that either party could terminate the agreement on a month's notice, which was perfectly fine. But then I was startled to read that if I didn't complete the three year job for their client for any reason I would be liable for any and all expenses related to completing the job. I'm not a lawyer, but it seemed to me (since there was no explanation in the contract) that it could easily be interpreted that I would have to pay out of my own pocket for someone to complete the job. In other words, they could terminate me on a month's notice and say "oh by the way, you have to pay for your replacement even though we're still billing the client and making 100% profit") That was a total WTF clause as far as I was concerned and I had them strike it out, which they did after a bit of hemming and hawing.
