Charged? I would tell the off-shore hackers that they delivered a
defective product and that if they don't make good there are plenty
of other two-bit hackers to choose from. In short ... fix it now and
fix it for free or you are fired. They'll fix it. Then find another
someone else to work with in the future. One can only wonder at the
number of other bad-practices they wrote into their app.
