    you are in no way obligated to give them the source files. they purchased a website, which i assume they recieved.

    truthfully though, if they are happy with your services, they will come back to you with or without the source files. and if they aren't happy, they won't come back anyway.

    i definitely wouldn't give them the files without payment. if you do give them the files, have them sign a new contract stating that the files are only to be used as backup for the specified website. they cannot be resold or repurposed. the code remains a copyrighted property of the designer and may not be modified without permission.

    they need to pay you dude.
