    I was thinking of also reiterating my deposit policies. Some thing along the lines of :

    "I do still require that everyone give me their two weeks notice of their intent to withdraw from my program so we can apply the deposit to your notice period, since the deposit is non-refundable."

    Aka I don't want my clients showing up, asking for their deposit once they find a new provider. I'm not going to fork over cash. It's stated in my contract but in willing to bet a whole lot of money that my clients will have "forgotten" that bit so want to avoid any disputes.

    Thoughts?

    I don't know that you need to go that far, you have contracts, it's all spelled out in them. Maybe pull them out of the file and have them 'at the ready' just in case. But if someone shows up expecting the deposit back, just say, no, see, you signed, here.
