Have you ever wondered how to handle a client who wants out of a contract just before a big event? Or what to do when a client gets upset over communication issues or ghosts you?

In this episode, I’m addressing a critical issue that many service-based business owners face: the enforcement and implications of communication clauses in your contracts. Using a real-life scenario from the TLP community, I’m breaking down the legal intricacies of handling client communication expectations, especially when a client attempts to claim a breach of contract. I explain what constitutes a material breach and offer practical advice on how to craft and enforce communication clauses that protect both parties. 

Whether you’re a wedding planner, photographer, or other service provider, you won’t want to miss these valuable insights:

  • The importance of communication clauses for response times and methods of communication, protecting both you and your client.
  • Material vs. non-material breaches of contract and how they affect contract cancellations.
  • Why you need to document communications and proof of notification for proper communication protocols.
  • How to include broad language in contract communication clauses to cover exceptions like holidays or vacations.
  • Implementing clear procedures for when a client ghosts you, including potential termination of their contract.
