Service Rendered, but no payment? What to do?

[BlueRose]

I have this in all my contracts (private and subsidized)

We agree that if we end up in court over money or any other reasons (payment for services, reimbursement cost etc. ) all court fees are our responsibility and not that of Valerie's Home Daycare (Valerie XXXXX) or any members of her family or staff. We are also responsible to cover any and all wages lost to Valerie XXXXXXXX, any of her family member an any and all staff who have had to miss work do to going to court for any reason. We will also pay for any staff required to cover the daycare for days Valerie XXXXXXXX has to attend court or meet with her layer. We are aware that if any payments of fees or reimbursements are not made Valerie's Home Daycare can have a collections Agency collect the money on Valerie XXXXXXXXX behalf.

So far all my families have signed without questioning this. And yes I have made sure they read this.

Its not going to stop every one from screwing me over, but it will make some people think twice about it. You need to protect yourself and your business.

I also make all my private clients pay on the Friday for the following two weeks. No money, no care.

hi valerie,

this is very helpful. is it okay to copy this words, and add it to my contracts? This would make sense, as you said, they will think twice about it.
