Hi All,
I have a question about web designers using third parties such as software developers. If I recommend a software developer and my client signs a contract directly with that software developer, am I still liable for the third party's actions? When I refer to 'actions' I'm not talking about anything malicious or intentional, just unforeseen circumstances that arose through customizing an existing shopping cart application. Truth be told, it did take quite a while to get the shopping cart application to work flawlessly, however making changes to any working application to fit customized needs would require time and testing. Can my client hold me responsible for the third party's actions or shortcomings? Especially since they signed the third party's contract and paid them directly?
