Just rewrote my payment terms after a client skipped town owing me $850

I had a client in Chicago ghost me last month after I finished a 40 hour web dev project, and they still owed me $850. Has anyone else added a deposit clause to their contracts after getting stiffed like that?

40 hours and they just vanished?" That's absolutely insane, I cannot believe someone would do that for a whole week's worth of work.

My buddy lost two weeks of freelance pay that way.

Ha! Nothing says "I value your work" like a disappearing act worthy of a magician.
