%25 percent the day you sign. This covers what it cost me to scope the work and bid on the contract. %50 The day I am done writing code. This code should meet all the spec's you set out in the agreement. %25 percent after QA/Live. There are always bugs it has to go out, a last minute tweak or two, general deployment support. You can cancel at any time but pay me out to the next point in the contract. If you sign up, and cancel the next day I get 75 percent. Someone will tell you that's "not fair" or "we wont cancel" ... then they should not have a problem with the terms, if you are serious they aren't at issue. Have a major scope change. Pay out the contract and let's write a new one. Or we can negotiate an amendment... Either way it's very hard for you to rug pull me. Get a very good lawyer. Pay them well. It will hurt at the start, but in the end you will be better off for it. This is all you need to know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVkLVRt6c1U
