Legal action in case free lancer not able to complete work on time


10-Jan-2023 (In Startup Law)
Hello, i am a free Lancer web developer, i took 2 websites to develop back in 2015. The work was delayed due to many circumstances. My client is asking me for entire refund. But both websites are almost complete and i invested her money in development. But now client is not listing and telling to give money back. Otherwise she will go legal. There was no. Contract mad between us and all conversations are on email and money transfer was bank to bank. Savings account. Both websites are live she is not ready to test them. What legal action can she take?

According to ur legal query...there is substantiate evidence that u both had a some deal..as per the bank record which is enough proof to nail u in some legal trap...bt there is a another aspect which is matter of investigation i.e. whether she is satisfied /not satisfied, work done / not done.and etc. But u have one option which may save you later in legal battle by sending them legal notice immediately to prove your bonafied intention.

It's is not essential to be contract in writing... even nod is kind of contract...in your case confirmation by email is equal to contract.... subject to render service.... so refund of money will not be applicable subject to circumstances U can reply by legal notice to your client
