Thanks for sharing this story - and the page with the contract. I never really had a case when the client disappeared like that, as most of my work has been either recurring work with people I trusted, done via referrals or (a long time ago) via freelancing platforms.
But that's something to always have in mind when providing services to clients.
I think it's like insurance. You hope you never need it, you think it can't really happen to you. But you're grateful to have it when the manure hits the fan.

Yes, definitely. This was the first time I’d experienced it, too. I was really surprised it wasn’t in their contract, but now it is – lesson learned!

Absolutely – it’s the same with professional indemnity insurance.
