Hello Muhammed, The client may have misunderstood, I believe that he thought that 200$ is the approximate maximum price that you'd charge in an hourly contract.

 

Anyways if you don't agree to these terms; to work on an hourly contract [8$/hr], and you want to use a Fixed price contract instead, simply DON'T accept the current offer and wait for him to respond.

 

I hope this helps. Best wishes,

Youssef

You have no obligations to this client.

 

If you told the client what the conditions were, and he ignored them, and then you send a single message to explain what to do to fix that, then you're done.

 

Muhammad J:
I can assure you that if I wanted to hire you, I would set up the contract properly. I would be in communication with you to follow up. I would make sure that you had accepted the contract and started logging time (if this is an hourly contract).

 

This client does NOT want to hire you. He is not expecting anything from you. There is no contract in place. The ball is in the client's court. Don't send the client any messages at this point. If the client contacts you, then you can tell the client EXACTLY what to do, and he WILL do it right. Or he gets nothing from you.

All you can do is wait for him to reply. He can send you another offer if it expires.
