Contract help!!! Need help fast!!!!?
I have a bride who wants to cancel her full service coordination package. She's pregnant and now wants a rushed super small wedding. She still wants me to make her a bouquet and find a small chapel for her to get married in. But she no longer needs centerpieces and day-of coordination. My problem is that her contract states:
In the event of cancellation, client agrees to pay a percentage of the fees as stated below
Deposit non-refundable
Payments made toward balance non-refundable
50% of total balance if services are cancelled within 90 days of signing this contract.
50% of remaining balance if services are cancelled within 90 days of the wedding.
My problem is its within the 90 days of signing the contract AND 90 days prior to wedding date. Her total fee was 1600, she is paying in monthly payments and has paid 760 far. She either owes $40 or $420! Major difference! Help Quick!!!

Unfortunately for her, she signed the contract. The time to negotiate fees is over and she is legally responsible to pay what the contract clearly specifies as being 50% of the remaining balance. So, she owes $420 to cover those fees. If she does not pay the company has the right to take her to court and she will end up paying more than $420 to cover legal expenses for them. However, she can talk to the company, explain her situation, and hope they are nice enough to let her out of the contract without having to pay the remaining balance. Some companies are understanding, especially small businesses. I would try the route of tact and diplomacy. If you go the legal route, you will lose because of the signed contract.

either way you should get @ $400. the contract states:
-50% of total balance if services are cancelled within 90 days of signing this contract: total balance is $1600 so 50% is $400
OR
-50% of remaining balance if services are cancelled within 90 days of the wedding: remaining balance is $840 so 50% is $420
am I right?
