I think any feelings you're having right now about the lost business are a drop in the bucket compared to any issues that would have arisen from working without a contract. Your stuff getting yanked from the Dropbox folder is also incredibly sketchy. Be sure to be on the lookout for it and Tineye/Google Image Search every three or so months to make sure it's not being used without your permission. In short: qirex posted:It sounds like you dodged a bullet.

SleeplessInEngland posted:Planning extra time when estimating a deadline is another thing I've screwed up on. I originally estimated a week for the initial designs (Would take me 2 days if I was working in an office) but then the lady I'm working for didn't get back to me about agreeing to my quote & is now on holiday until tomorrow, which is when the first draft was meant to be with her. Another learning curve, I guess I can't stress this enough, I love including it in my contracts: Defenestration posted:3. Agile Deadlines It's not your fault she took a vacation.

Designers using stock is an age-old practice. As long as the rights are what they should be for usage, she shouldn't feel bad at all. In fact, the ability to incorporate other people's elements seamlessly into a greater whole is, like, nearly a baseline requirement for the profession.

SVU Fan posted:I'm going to said him a generic "thanks, looking forward to it email" first thing in the morning so he knows I'm still waiting for it. Hope your payment goes through without further issue. Does your contract have a fee for late payment/reissued invoice? Mine stipulates a 45, 60, 75 and 90 day flat penalty, after which a monthly service fee kicks in. I've fortunately never had to get to the point where I had to bill for the service fee, but have definitely gotten to the 60 day mark before. If I like the client I usually good cop/bad cop them in the same email, along the lines of, "I understand that yadda yadda yadda, but just a reminder that the contract does state this…" Like others have mentioned, terms of payment is also another thing that can be defined in a good contract beforehand. In short: Oh My Science posted:Edit: Make your own contract, charge more if they want to use their own. Also, make sure their contract doesn't gently caress you. and

Bad Milk posted:The problem in Spain is that the client offers YOU the contract and all the terms are theirs. Have you thought about searching for jobs outside of the country? Currency conversion is trivial nowadays, illustration is remote work, and you seem to have a great grasp of English.
