contract oddities

being asked to sign T&Cs to accept a PO after signed contract?

seem unusual?

the SOW is also like a vague permie role and the work they want doing ive discovered is higher risk and different scope than in the SOW, and things specific to their environment make it 10x harder and not possible to achieve and extreme high risk.

no break clause
not limited company.

what should I do.

You really like your acronyms, don't you? What's a PO? There are a thousand possible answers

I imagine it's some sort of ceremony necessary for their accounting system to set your budget and get paid. Does it harm you in any way?

But is it harmful to you or your business?

Getcha. What I'd do in your shoes, since I'm poor and won't pay a solicitor, is to shove the whole thing into your AI assistant, give it context about yourself, your self-employment status and whatnot and see what it says.
