Thinking about how I used to be too nice about overdue accounts

I remember starting out and just sending bills without any follow-up plan... if someone didn't pay, I'd shrug and figure they'd get to it eventually. It meant some payments took months, and I was always short on cash for supplies. After a really slow season, I decided to stop that and put a late fee rule in my terms. Now, I send a polite reminder email a week after the due date, and add a fee if it's over 30 days late. The first client I charged the fee to actually apologized and paid the same day... my income is way more steady now. I don't have to play the guessing game with my budget anymore.

Arbitration clauses in contracts: my big flip after getting burned

I always put arbitration in my agreements to skip the court hassle. Then I had a case where the ruling felt totally off and there was no way to appeal. Some folks say it's still the best for speed, but I think it can be too risky. How do you all deal with this clause in your papers?
