So, one of my clients purchased my top package for logo design and branding. She was referred to me by my Mother-in-Law. Everything was going smoothly—she loved the drafts, requested a few revisions (which were promptly done), and as per our contract, we offered up to 3 rounds of revisions, all of which were utilized.

Just before the final files were due for delivery, she requested a complete change in direction. This request fell way beyond the scope of the original contract. However, given that she was referred by a close relative, I thought, “Alright, I’ll accommodate it.” I did the redesign, showed it to her, and she loved it. Finally, I was looking forward to receiving the remaining 50% she owed me (I had taken 50% as an advance).

But then, she claimed that I owed her 3 more rounds of revisions and wanted further changes.

That was the tipping point. I decided to terminate our contract, refrained from delivering the source files, and retained the 50% advance without asking for the remaining payment.

Now, my Mother-in-Law is furious. She called me an “asshole” for what I did.

So, here’s the deal, random strangers on the internet—am I in the wrong?
