I could really use some advice on this, actually. It's very serendipitous to see this posted.
What if you have a handshake deal and the other person abruptly disappears? I'm incurring all costs of operation, they've gone back and not completed anything they've said they would and now don't even reply to emails?
My concern is centered around the "What ifs" that happen in the future.
What if my site starts to take off? What if it doesn't, but is a lifestyle business? Then he decides he wants back in!
I don't want him to come in later and demand anything from me, since he's abandoned me and prior to that at least 90% of his initial promises went unfulfilled.
