Raising prices without notice.

  You are already at the bottom of that slippery slope. Businesses can, do, and should raise their prices, and may do so without notice.

    That's what contracts are supposed to prevent.

      Contracts are a deterrent, nothing more. Without the resources to enforce a contract it isn't worth the paper it is written on...

        This is a seriously reductionist view of the universe. Contracts are a device for securing agreement. You put a contract in place so you can ensure both sides agree on things, like, "we're not going to raise our prices without allowing you a 12 month grandfather period". You don't get contracts in place so you can sue people. We're a small business (in the grand scheme of things). We're unlikely to take anyone to court. You think we don't have freelancers (designers, devs) sign contracts with us? That's insane. Of course we do. How else would we all agree on what the freelancers were doing?

    Of course. I feel as if you are arguing for the sake of arguing. It's not about their rights. It is my opinion that without consistent pricing (i.e. TRUST) its dangerous to rely on any company.

      It is dangerous to rely on startups for a number of reasons. Managing risk is part of being in business.
