insurance and code development

Hello,

Hopefully, this is the right section.

I am starting writing codes for clients on my own account. A bit like a free-lance programmer. Should I take an insurance to protect me in case a client sues me? For instance a failure in the program that triggers business losses... What's your experience in the area?

Thanks

Hi.

That is essentially a legal question. I think the answer would depend on what state in which you reside, where your clients are, how you have organized your business, etc. I would ask an attorney ... cheers, drl

Just create a license and ask your clients to sign it.

something like "The author of the software is not responsible or supportive in any way damage". It is also "legal" and the cannot sue because they were warned and accepted the conditions.
