Thanks for the reply! With regards to payment I don't see that clause so things look ok there.

But noticed another clause essentially forbidding me to reveal anything related to the said contract _including_ even the fact that I'm in a contract with the umbrella.

That's a whole new level on madness...

Since I treat my customer list as confidential (my) company IP, it wouldn't affect me much. I don't include companies on my resume to keep recruiters from mining my customer list. That said, it could be beneficial to be able to let future customers know that I worked with A (it's marketing), which I will mention in an interview - telling the story of what I did for that company. Hopefully, that clause might be easy to eliminate.
