Transparen strives to avoid contracts which it cannot fulfil, and to meet its obligations in contracts which it has entered into. However, it is important to realize that representations and warrantees all have value, which is sometimes quite high, and to be willing to discuss this at the beginning of the contract.

Certain types of tasks fall outside of the scope of what Transparen will become involved in. For example:

• Stock promotions and securities law violations
• Bypassing security measures of copy protected software
• Identity theft
• Unauthorized entry into computer systems
• Money laundering schemes
• Pyramid schemes
• False advertising
• Tax evasion

In addition, contractual representations and warrantees that require us to maintain contracts with our contractors will require us to obtain costly advice in order to approve the contracts that would comply with the representations and warrantees - before obtaining this advice, we may request an additional fee, or else once we have obtained the advice, we will re-evaluate any existing quote to factor in the new cost that we needed to incur. If the request occurs mid-project, we will request a fee to cover evaluating the change - and possibly an additional fee to agree to the change once we have determined that it is legally possible.

We do not recommend changing contract terms or getting new contracts signed mid-project. One unpleasant consequence is that delivery of the project may be delayed pending completion of a new and unforeseen contract negotiation process.
