Contract Agreement

Finally, Grant Thornton has sent a contract agreement to my supervisor. Once it is signed and send to them, they will send the data to us, and I can start crunching them like mad. But when we studied them closely, there is no mention of data exclusivity in the contract as agreed earlier on the phone. Now the university officer is going to look at it and decide whether we can proceed with the signing or do we have to ask Grant Thornton to revise it back. Considering that it took me more than 3 months of calling their people almost every week just for them to send this contract, I don't know whether I will be willing to wait much longer for the data. The wait continues...
