There are things you can do. Prevention through pre-payment, unfortunately, happens to be most effective. While a thief won’t care about your policies, they strengthen your claim against chargebacks and service theft when you’re working with credit card companies and police. (I successfully defend one or two chargebacks a year thanks to my policy.)

So yeah, the policy is necessary, even if it won’t be respected by a client determined to steal services. Sorry I couldn’t give you more “useful” information. 🙄

Just take the hit. It is my understanding from this article. In the beginning this article says “write a refund policy” than it says later on ” a thief won’t care about your policies anyways”. The only useful advice from this article is to have the client pay upfront for any expensive services. SMH.
