What kind of wording do you have in your contracts regarding cancelations by either you or the client.
Thanks for the feedback

Is that Santa's cousin?
In CT, we are required to give a 3 day right of recission (cancellation). Afterwards if a job is cancelled, or stopped due to default by the client, we have the right to our profit at a stated percentage of the job. I use the "Contractor's Legal Kit". Of course, collecting is a whole nuther thing...
I think it also depends on the circumstances. If a client cancels due to some catastrophe, do you want word going around that you are suing them for your profit?
