Nonsense. Once the developer accepts a $2500 offer he is obliged to do his part of the deal. Not to mention that $2500 can be a lot of money for a lot of people.

The 10% share of profits is a sign of good will on behalf of OP. It was not part of the original agreement and in that question is ridiculous to complain that it is too small. The developer is not a cofounder, he is a freelancer.

I'm sorry but contractual obligations will always come before what seems fair or not.




Which part of what I said is a "nonsense" exactly ?

I merely pointed out that ($2500 + 10% of profits) is a patently bad deal for the developer and it explains the sour state of affairs that they both ended up with.

The fact that the developer is not upholding his end of a deal is another matter. I haven't commented on it.
