Wonder how do you guys do up with your terms of engagement.
Reason I am asking is because for organisations which I have good working relationships, I will allow 2 to 4 weeks for payment to be in.
For other organisations which I do not have prior working relationship or much knowledge, I demand COD. Cheque/Cash on delivery of CDR/Photos.
Just kena a company today, agreed on COD, went down to deliver the photos, and guess what, said the boss is not in town and cannot issue cheque, claims cheque is prepared and just no one to sign...
Then suggests that they pay 50% first and then when their client accept the photos, they will give me the other 50%. I disagreed as this was never mentioned when I was engaged.
After some "argument", agreed that they will send me the cheque and I said that I expect to get it latest this Friday...
Now, I can only wait...if no $$$ this friday, getting my lawyer fren to send letter of demand liao....
How would u guys handle this sort of situation? Was thinking to the extend, show lowres photos on the CD, password zip the hires ones and will only release the password when payment is in...haha..
