I have a contract with a company to design their website, the contract has a bullet point that says the webmaster (me) will update all content provided by said company as well as 25 other bullet points. i had been receiving emails from this company throughout the contract for changes / updates / errors, the bulk contract was supposed to be 22 days to be completed. after 22 days i only had about half of the contract done and had told them, they were requesting too many changes and i will only fix errors until the contract was completed... a month goes by and i hardly get any thing else on the contract completed due to their changes (they didn't stop) and they ask for another update. i send another email saying, this contract needs to be completed so i will not look at any other changes / updates until i am done. since then, i have been receiving emails that i am "in breach of the contract" and they are taking me to court over the last 2 months i have received 210 emails for changes...

I don't know if it's called harrassment but I'd call it being taken advantage of.

If, as you state, you (the Webmaster) will update all content provided by said company...then that is PART OF YOUR AGREEMENT (contract). The updates (210 e-mails worth?) were provided by said company and you are obligated to provide that service. Failure to do so can be considered a breach of contract. However, without knowledge of the contract in full one can only go by the information you have provided. Contact a CONTRACT ATTORNEY and see if there are any loop holes (I doubt this because their attorney would have written the contract). in the future don't consent to a contract without all knowledge of the details of the clauses (bullet points)--have an attorney look over any future documents.

If the case is going to court, I would say do whatever the contract states to do. As far as the constant emails, I would print out every email. This is proof that they are poss. harrassing you. I would try to finish the original contracted work before you go to court, so you don't have a breach to worry about.

1. Save all those emails as evidence.
2. Consult an attorney pronto.

Oh dear. Unless you've done your work before its deadline and they kept on asking you for revisions (which hinders you from doing your job), I'd say they are. That's why it's crucial to read carefully first before signing. I hope things will all work out. Seek a good lawyer!

it sounds as though they were abusing you and this will come out in court. take copies of each email with the headers on it to include copies of yours mailed out to court with you. countersue for the contract amount plus triple damages.
