Rewrite and Review Supplier Agreement

[ghost]

Mark has written draft:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Le14_UyBBe-ADoCJS1yUvK266WE2ffETBnAVSadfM88/edit#

Inês to review

[ghost]

Please note when I originally wrote the contract I defined working day as follows:

“Working Day(s)” means eight (8) hours of accrued work by Supplier.

I have now updated this to:

“Working Day(s)” means seven (7) hours of accrued work by Supplier.

[ghost]

@iteles to review contract

[iteles]

Reviewed! And left comments.

Need to get this out to a client so please make it the top priority 👍

[ghost]

@iteles I have replied to your comments in the doc

[iteles]

@markwilliamfirth Have resolved the majority of the questions and replied to your replies 😉

[ghost]

@iteles I have replied to your replies to my replies 😉

[ghost]

@iteles I think it is only clause 16 that requires attention now

[ghost]

Mark to add no approaching clause

[ghost]

@iteles this was actually already included (clause 33)

No Party to this Agreement will, during and for a period of six (6) months following the expiry or termination of this Agreement, induce any employee of the other Party who was directly involved in the performance of this Agreement, to leave such other Party’s employment.

Let me know if you'd like it changing

Next step in this issue is for you to review clause 16 and let me know if you're happy with it

[ghost]

@iteles I responded back

[iteles]

And me :) I agree - let's keep the open source/non-open source details in the schedule and refer to the schedule in the main body of the document

[ghost]

@iteles I've updated - if you're happy then please send me the client details and I can create the first contract

[iteles]

If we're going to go this route, I think we want to start with OSS as the default as it better reflects our values. I've suggested:

The code and documentation created by the Supplier for the Project will be covered by an open source license (https://opensource.org/licenses) to will be mutually agreed by both Parties. Should the Client decide that the Project will be closed source, all Intellectual Property Rights associated with the Project shall be owned by the Client. The agreed Intellectual Property Rights for the Project are outlined in Schedule 1.

Will send you the details

[ghost]

Have reworded slightly

All Intellectual Property Rights associated with the Project shall be owned by the Client, except the code and documentation created by the Supplier, to which the Client hereby expressly agrees and understands that it will be assigned by default to an open-source license (https://opensource.org/licenses), which will be mutually agreed by both Parties. The Client may opt-out of making the Project open-source and thus retain complete Intellectual Property Rights, confirmation of the Project’s open/closed source status shall be outlined in Schedule 1.

[iteles]

Open source doesn't have a hyphen, but other than that, this is fine.
I would make the last section of the last sentence a sentence in its own right.

[ghost]

Updated 👍

[iteles]

@markwilliamfirth Why was this reopened?
I would suggest that given stated priorities, this is really not as important this week as dwyl/process-handbook#35

[ghost]

Yep - it's behind it in priorities - was just updating github as it was on my other todo list

[ghost]

This is a p1 now after various frictions that have occurred with MV

[iteles]

#321 is a higher priority than this. I'm not sure how useful it is to move everything else to a p1 until that is complete.

[ghost]

• Include clause allowing time for dwyl team retrospective

[iteles]

?! A retrospective is an essential part of the agile development process. It's never a question.
Are you proposing we add all of our ceremonies into our contracts?

[ghost]

Interest on late payments

[iteles]

Is this a suggestion that charging interest on late payments should be added to our contracts with clients in light of the 2 client non-payment of invoices and 1 client who is paying us 3 months past the due date of invoices?

It would be a great idea to do a little research and suggest a sensible (spurs action but doesn't offend) interest rate 👍

[iteles]

Closing in favour of #459
