The only thing I know for sure about business is to be sure all of your terms are outlined, specified and in writing, signed, dated and you have a copy in your possession to begin work. Whether or not you get a deposit is up to you, but I always get a deposit of at least 1/2, unless it's a repeat good customer and I know them for years. However, even with a good customer.... over a certain amount and they too, pay a deposit to cover some upfront costs.
As for this waiver thingie..... I've had it happen numerous times. That's when you either show up in person or send an alarming letter through snail mail with a return receipt attached outlining what you will do and give them a letter of demand. The letter of demand has always worked for me throughout the years. Hadda use it less then 10 times over 50 years. Like I said, it works almost instantly.
Some companies have people set up in positions just to f*ck with payments and come up with all kindsa excuses not to pay. If they didn't have those people, they wouldn't have a job, so they use them, as needed. It's a shame people are not honest anymore, but you need to protect yourself and your property. The waiver they wanted you to sign, is usually performed after they pay you, so I don't quite understand their doing it early ?? Sounds like they might have some imbecile doing their dirty deeds. Maybe you should now inquire to some higher up in their company as to why this harrassment was sent to you. Tell them you intend to notify the proper authorities of their abuse of such matters.
