Well you sound as if you have thought this through and know how you want to handle this with this man.

I do agree with the posters who recommended you get a contract signed/money up front for the job. I work in a financial field and the contract my company has signed up for for facilities management has clauses in it for non payment, service level failures, fixed fee deductions etc etc. These things are well worth you looking into and including into your working practices.

I understand you do not want to be doing this job long term, but for the forseeable future, you are and therefore you should take steps to protect your rights as a contractor.

It should not be possible if they are tied to a contract with you to renegotiate with you after the fact, they have a legal document binding them to pay you a said amount under the agreed proposals etc layed out in your contract. This agreement you mention, is a legal document? - if so, you can enforce it, it is your right!

Good luck
