Project Protection Question

[ckaspar]

OK, I need your guys input. I am kinda stuck here and don't know what to do and thought you would have some good input for me.

I work part time freelancing for another , small, tech company. Basically the owner/sole employee of the company goes out and gets web development jobs for me to do.

We currently have a client for whom I am building an ASP/Access project for and have a few questions.

Is there a way I can protect the web application from being copied and sold elsewhere? I am concerned about the client and/or the small tech company I work for stealing the application and selling it themsleves.

Without going into details I have recently had a falling out with the client and the company and I feel I can no longer trust either of them.

I need to protect the application while still allowing the client's in house developer modify to files so they can make changes if nescessary.

Any ideas?

Do you have a contract with them touching those moments?

Are you being paid to develop this? If so, in most places you don't own the code and have to right to lock it down.

Have the app send you an e-mail once a week. If you start getting two e-mail, you know what has happened.

But the client's in house developer allowed to modify the files can disable that feature!

First they have to find the code. You should already have your information by then.
