Ask What should you include in a freelance contract to protect yourself against sudden project cancellation?

[Edward22]

Contracts are necessary for outlining project expectations, but they do not always stop a client from ending the agreement early. A project cancellation can leave you with an empty schedule and a sudden loss of expected income for that month. Including a specific clause about cancellation fees can provide some financial security, but clients do not always accept these terms easily. Protecting your time and income against sudden changes in a client's business is a difficult task. What specific terms do you put in your contracts to handle a client who cancels a project halfway through?
