> To make a long story short, all work done by NovaStudios was from overseas. I'm curious how you know this. Also, I've read your PDF file and I have to say that it doesn't reflect well on you or your company. For example, Michael you say: > HOW CAN THE DEVELOPER ABORT THE PROJECT, IF IT WAS ME WHO STARTED THE PROJECT AND WHO PAID FOR IT????????? Freelance contracts are always optional for both parties---you can be fired, or you can quit. To complain so strenuously about someone quitting your project shows that you deeply misunderstand the nature of the contractor-contractee relationship. You repeat this about 3 times in your conversation with freelancer.com support, so its not a one-off misunderstanding. Also about the milestone system... The milestone system is supposed to protect you by having you only pay once a milestone has been completed. If you pay before the milestone is completed, you defuse the entire process. At that point, its too late to complain that Freelancer.com failed you. Ideally, if someone completes 2 of 3 milestones and then bombs out, you have 2/3rd of the work done and can hand the 1/3rd of the project to someone new. At this point, I question the accuracy of your narration because you did pay out most of the money to them.
