The client who wanted to pay me after delivery instead of the 50% deposit we agreed on

I was sitting in my home office last Tuesday when a long-time client said they'd pay the full $1,200 after I finished the site redesign, even though our contract clearly said 50% upfront, and I had to decide whether to walk away from the project or hold my ground and risk losing the gig - has anyone else had clients try to rewrite your payment terms mid-project?

Why do people think they can just ignore a signed contract like that?

yeah that "testing boundaries" thing is spot on.

That's just frustrating, isn't it? I've had people try to pull stuff like that and it always feels so disrespectful. You gotta stick to what was agreed on or they'll keep testing boundaries.
