What does this answer have to do with the simple question:

"Do you have it in writing that they agreed to provide the access
you require"

If the answer would have been "yes", then the their party party should
play no role.

The thema here is about a contract for three years for $100k signed
by people that cannot read.

It is not a thema for this mailing list.

And we have again a necer ending smalltalk with all kind of
anectdotes.
