Give them a price, design price included. If they say it's ok. we take 50% down, 50% on completion. Never had a case where they didn't like our design so i don't know how to help you there. Your between a rock and a hard spot when they don't like your design, it's hard to charge for that.

I include a design brief as part of a contract. A design brief is a questionnaire that the client fills out. If you design to that design brief, you should charge more if the client is not pleased once you max out on the hours you charged for the design. If you are not designing to that brief, then the opposite, keep designing or give them a refund (complete or partial is up to how far off you are)

Just don't call your customer "unpleaseable".

Some people no matter how many hoops you jump through or how well the design is will not be good enough, so at some point you go, I've X amount of changes, hours, hassle, and you have payed WHAT... They are not going to be happy unless 100% refund either are you ... So if your contract does not cover you, give the the money back and move on
