All our other counterparties have agreed this: Difference between revisions

You can rely on the [[in-house lawyer]]’s stock answer – “last I heard, we hadn’t outsourced our internal control function to our competitors” – and that should be the end of it. Or you could call your client’s bluff. Ask which of your peers has agreed such suicidal terms. Ask for copies of the [[contract]]s in which they did so.

This will outrage your client (and, on his behalf, your salesperson) but he really has only himself to blame: he brought it up. He can hardly appeal to the confidentiality of contracts which, in his previous breath, he was happy to tell you all about.
