I’m sorry that happened to you. For future reference, anything beyond an hour or two is excessive, and anything they could actually use for profit is out of the question.
When they initially said about the project, I refused it. But, then they said they would pay me for the project. I signed a contract that stated that I would get paid. But, now they backed out of it saying my work is not upto their standard and they are terminating the contract.
Pretty sure it does. The contract was always favored towards them. But, I decided to let it slide because I was pretty desperate. Now, that has come back to bite me in my ass. I might just decide to leave working in software after this debacle. It’s not worth it. Corporations have gotten too used to treating people like machines. I have been working on setting up a small horticulture or floriculture business.
I spent so long learning software development. I always wanted to work on developing software specifically for engineering. That is something I am really passionate about. Stuff like CAD, simulation, etc. But, seems like companies have taken that as a license to exploit. Also, the overabundance of software devs in the job market have made it easier for them. Better to give up.
I haven’t got any resources. Company’s HQ is based in Romania, while I live in India. I just have to take this L and be even more careful next time.

Is there a clause in the contract that gives their claim teeth?

Start applying for jobs in the US. Or if you can swing it, get your visa and come here. Most of my coworkers are Indian, and they’re making bank.
