I am an aerospace engineering consultant in California. I entered into a contract in which I would sub-contract from an engineering consulting firm. The contract concerned the creation of some engineering software.
In the contract, I was first to demonstrate the completed software at the engineering consulting firm. After the demonstration, I was to demo the software at a client of the engineering consultant.
Because of various problems, the software was demonstrated at the clients site, but was not demonstrated at the engineering consulting firm. Because the software has not been demonstrated at the engineering service firms office, they are refusing to pay for the services, eventhough they have already been paid by the client for the software. The total contract value is $2500.00 which falls under the perview of small claims court.
Can I sue without following the exact letter of the contract? The middle step, which was not performed, was to demonstrate the software was to verify the software before it was taken to the client, which seems to be unnecessary since it was demonstrated at their client.
Thanks
