The client reason for wanting out of the contract - How will I know you will show up - is totally a ruse. If you didn't show up for her event she is protect because she could have done a chargeback. Since she did a charge back to try and get her deposit back she knew how the system work.

This definitely sounds like a small claims court case. I hope you get your money back. I used to freelance as a makeup artist and always had a contract and a deposit fee. When I first started I always got the remainder on the event but once I started doing more weddings, I saw it was a problem. Like you said so much going on. Once I had to wait until after the ceremony to get paid the balance because everyone was running around etc which made me late for a next client. Great video

I went through this to a similar extent when the client canceled twice because of funds being tight. I had already begun to order some of her items and when she had to cancel it was already past the return window. I was heated (that's an understatement) because my contract is very clear. She didn't ask for a refund of her deposit (she knew it's non-refundable and she acknowledged that). However, if the event didn't go through I would've been at a loss for the things I ordered with her deposit money and would have a hard time trying to use them for someone else because one of her colors was not that common. I told my assistant (who was also on the initial consultation call) that if she doesn't confirm this event is on like she says by a certain date I'm going to use my contract clause and I'M going to cancel. My lesson from earlier this year was pay myself first. I had done so much design prep and planning that if the event was actually canceled I would've not been compensated for my time at all. I changed my contract language from ___% deposit to ____% retainer. *The retainer is my payment for services and a percentage of materials. The 2nd payment is due 60 days and final payment is still due 30 days before the event. Of course if it's a shorter window I adjust the payment and internal ordering schedule. AGAIN pay yourself first (my retainer fee is my payment plus a set percentage that I use to start buying supplies).

Thank you for being so transparent! I too struggle with similar issues. I am grateful for your gold nuggets. May God continue to elevate you for His kingdom work because you do inspire, encourage and uplift me with your wisdom and knowledge. God bless you sister.

Ugh! I hate this part of business..you can't trust everybody but I also refuse to let the bad apples change who I am. Payments directly into your biz act (from their credit cards or bank accts) might be 1 way to avoid this in the future-hope this is an option for you. I've had potential clients who have taken my idea's to another designer or done it themselves. No more buying materials until a deposit is paid and I remind them it is non refundable. I also learned the hard way not to do the ground work for them anymore. I would even help them source for locations for their event & then be ghosted afterwards. Now they sign the contract before I even use their deposit and it has to be within a set time frame otherwise they will forfeit their deposit - exceptions are trusted repeat clients, who still pay on time anyway. I wish you all the best in getting your money from them. Stay your firm, sweet helpful self. Blessings.🙏🏾

I’m sorry that it happened to you too 😔

Why is the deposit non refundable? I need to know because I’m in the process of creating a contract.

If I was you I would take cash deposit and the remainder of the money would go into business account. So that way they can’t use there card to get the money back

I have thought about that too! But I don’t like carry cash on me. 🤷🏽‍♀️

You didn't have a contract with her mother and I probably would have ended the call.

☺️☺️ You’re right. I didn’t have a contract with her mother…

It's sad that people would attempt to take advantage of you and your business. Amex shouldn't have a problem siding in your favor once they see she sign the contract. Never entertain the thought of shutting down your business/dream because of someone. You stop when you've had enough.

Exactly Bree!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

She might have been planning to rip you off and try to get the decorations for a huge discount because of "problems" with the decor.

She will try to pull a fast one over another event decorator.
