I think it is fair to insist on what you were initially promised, but also make sure both sides understand each others' motivations properly. If both parties work in good faith, usually finding a point of contention in a contract draft means that one party has a fear that it wishes to address with the clause; finding a peaceful resolution usually means understanding that fear and finding a more palatable / jointly acceptable solution. One thing that has worked for me in the past is asking the other person: Hey, I find this clause to be harsh and difficult to accept -- what are you trying to do with that clause? What scenarios are you trying to protect yourself against? Can we find a different way of addressing this?
