    First off, I want to say to any mods please move this to the right section because I'm not sure exactly where it should go :p

    Ok now, I will explain my situation:

    So @ldw116 hired me via contract to build in his town _Atlantis_ and would pay me 220k once complete, I will link it here: https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/contract.142490/ and all was going good, until he went inactive, but I still went on building until I ran out of materials and then I started using my own money to buy the materials, which amounted to around 20k. Now I am out of money and can no longer build, plus the user above mentioned has been inactive in game for over 5 days now, and I've been forum pm'ing him but he won't reply, I know he's been reading what I've been saying because it says the last read date there and was recently read what I say. Now the due date from whence I have to finish it by is coming up really fast, and I have been broke for a while and all the small amounts of money I've been getting has been going toward the build. And I really don't want to loose 10k and all the work I did.

    And I can't build in the four towers because there arn't floors to build on

    Also, but I prob can't get this proved because I don't have screenshots but in game he said I would fill up 1 tower not all 4 and it is going to be a Lot extra work :( Please someone help me with this delema
    :( :(

    Okay. I would suggest that you keep going till the due date, as outlined in the contract, then after that if you have recieved no payment, you'll need to file a complaint with evidence. Then a staff member can handle it from there. Hope this helps. If you need anything more, either forum pm or reply here :)

    It says build prebuilts and furnish "a" skyscraper. It's pretty broad.

    Honestly that contract shouldn't have been approved as it's far too broad and unspecific.

    Have you already used the 200k paid up front?

    Just to clarify, you are to be paid $220000 when finished, and up to $200000 for materials you buy to do the job?

    @BuildsByGideon so you were given the materials to use and then once they were all used up, you used your own. In my opinion you probably shouldn't have done this and as Nicit said the contract was very vauge.

    My advice would be to no longer continue the builds (as there is no more materials) and then file a complaint once it is past the due date. If you would like you can tag me in the complaint (if you need to make one) and I'll try to think of a way to solve it :)

    The contract should not have been approved. Firstly, it says "furnish". This is kinda broad, and of course, didn't say where the skyscraper was, and what is defined as a skyscraper (better to have said building). Plus, if there weren't floors to build onto, he could not very well have put furniture there. Probably something can be worked out. Simply wait until ldw asks for 10k payment of a failed contract, and work it out from there.

    Arguably the complaint could be filed now if the full sum for materials was not paid up front, correct? Ldw has already breached the contract by not fulfilling one of his terms.

    more than that and I provided about 100k in mats. Either way, the contract was flawed. It did not state that I must pay you 200k for mats.

    Up to can basically mean whatever is needed with a maximum of 200k. If he didn't pay what you needed, it could be seen as a breach of contract. But it'd be very flimsy. As I said, the real flaw in this would be that it shouldn't have been accepted. You guys should just work out a new contract.
