My accountant insisted I add a kill fee clause after a client ghosted me for 3 weeks, and it just saved me $1200.
I finally got paid for the project they abandoned because the contract said they owed 50% if they canceled after the first draft.

Wait, they just disappeared for three weeks?

Remember that guy I used to freelance with? He did a whole website for a client who ghosted him right after delivery, like total radio silence for a month. He was so stressed. Makes you wonder how many people just hope you'll forget? That's exactly why what @faithpatel said is so smart, getting it in writing before you even start. My friend finally got paid, but only after sending a scary legal letter, and he lost sleep the whole time.

My lawyer made me add a 30-day payment term clause and it's saved me from chasing so many invoices.
