Actually, the relationship between client and designer is very complex, as 
I have indicated before, and the agreement has to cover these issues 
including but not limited to the appropriate representations, warranties 
and indemnities on the part of the client.  Among the many articles on my 
site under the link "Articles for Web Site Designers and Site Owners" you 
should read is "Taking Over A Web Design Project" at 
http://www.ivanhoffman.com/project.html

This reply is not legal advice and does not create any attorney client 
relationship.
