We have that printed on just about everything that is in writing. And point it out in every consultation too. If you do not already include that in your verbiage, you need to. When they come back later to complain that your prices went up, you can then remind them that you did tell them that prices were subject to change and that the only way to lock in your current price is to book it while it is at that rate.

Even though we all don't see eye to eye on this situation, let's keep the discussion on a professional and courteous level.

Without signing the contract, she should know that prices may change...thats just the way the world works. FWIW after looking at your portfolio and pricing, I think you are worth more than you are charging
