Not sure if it is drama yet, just asking for opinions at this point.

The scenario:

Party A has a very nice script.

Party B recognizes it is a very nice script, and would like a bastardized version for himself.

Party A gives okay to his programmer to sell him a version of the script at a very reduced rate.

Programmer agrees to modify the script under the following terms:

50% down and he will make modifications. When it is ready, Party B will pay the balance and programmer will install it.

Programmer prepares mods, it has been ready for 4 or 5 months, however, Party B does not have the money to pay for the install. He asks the programmer if he will install it anyway, and take payment later.

Against the advice of Party A, programmer agrees to do it.

Programmer needs FTP access from Party B, has requested it from the get go, Party B finally provides it 2 days ago.

Party B then states that he needs the install done immediately or he will pay someone else to do it (not sure how he expects that to happen, but oh well)

The attitude causes programmer to say okay, when you pay the other 50% as originally agreed upon I will install it. The offer to do it on the front is rescinded.

Party B now expects a full refund (even though programmer has spent hours making mods to script, and has requested FTP access since the day Party A agreed to sell a copy of script to Party B.

Is Party B entitled to a refund?
