Like many of you we still haven't sold our house but we have a master plan

Here we go:

We were with Agent A from Sept 07 - Jan 08. Then Agent B from Jan 08 until yesterday. A gave B a list of people who had viewed our house with them. On this list was a couple who also have their house on sale with B. We tried to come to an arrangement re: part/ex their house plus cash for ours while we were both on with B but nothing came of it. We now want to contact them direct to see if we can re-negotiate and do a deal.

Problem is that even tho' A introduced them, and we are past the timeframe in which they would be able to claim fees, on reading the contract from B last night it stated that they could claim their fees for anyone introduced or anyone who they had negotiations with.

Just wondered if anyone knew the ins and outs of these contracts and whether B would be entitled to their fees if the part/ex went ahead.
If anyone understands that lot it will be a miracle in itself!

Stax of thanx
