1- People generally have better things to do than sue individuals, so your chance of being sued is probably lower than your chances of dating Scarlett Johansson. Paying a lawyer to limit almost infinite odds further doesn't make business sense.
The people on the other side will estimate your net worth and how much can they get from you vs the cost and make the same decision.. bad deal.

2. For the future.. never, ever do another contract as an individual. Incorporate or find some other way to make money.

3. Be as courteous and cooperative as you can. It always pays to do someone a favor, especially when it doesn't involve writing checks on your part.

4. Wear old clothes and look as sickly as you can when you see them.

>I take this as "You didn't do a good job and we want to restart the project, just not with you". I'm OK with that because it was a real PITA and I'm glad to be rid of them.

>As far as the waiver, I asked them to sign a Release From Liability. I basically want them to not come after me if this other guy does something wrong.

>Anyone have a Release From Liability template or something similar? Please don't refer me to a lawyer. I don't want to spend $300 to have him print out a form for me.
