First of all there is no criminal liability in case you are not able to complete a agreement or contract and there was not fraud,cheating on your part.

In case of civil liability they can recover the amount as agreed in case if the contract terms are not fulfilled. So as you agreed you can give them termination notice and refund the amount as agreed upon on termination of contract.

For further contesting the case and defences you contract papers need to be persuaded.also don't worry foreign company won't sue for 100$ as the litigation cost will be more than that.

1. Unfinished Business and resultant return of money for the unfinished business would not fall for Criminal Proceedings, since the motive-element of Cheating is absent.

2. HOWEVER, a civil matter can be conducted for failing to comply and causing loss due to committment problems to the opposite party.

So give them a legal notice stating same for returning the 50$ along with all material precoured for the purpose with invoices

If no terms of termination were set then you are not liable to pay anything you can terminate it with the notice along with the balance amount and material.

1) you must honour the terms of the contract

2) you must refund 200 dollars for the labour cost

3)you are not liable for criminal prosecution as your contract clearly provided that you would only refund the labour cost but not material costs

4) you must hand over the circuit details of work done by you till date

hand over technical details and material bought bu you

This appears simple breach of contract with no compensation involved so you need not worry. However company can press criminal charges, if they have good contacts, you need to hire a good lawyer to be safe.

Ask in brief.

No criminal case is maintainable in the present matter, since the dealing in between you and your client was purely civil in nature.

You are fully protected by the 2nd agreement you signed with them; neither a case of breach of contract is made out against you.

At any time they take any action against you under law, you will have ample of defence available to you.

There is no intention to decieve

No case of cheating is made out

1. BY refusing /delaying the assigned work, you have caused probable loss to your Client, who may have further committed to his other clients.
