They did not "string us along."  We did some work for them, and then they didn't pay.

We have a billing agreement signed by them with "set rules clearly outlined," and we were "hard ash about holding to them."  Unfortunately, they broke those rules.  Therefore, we are warning our peers for the protection of the community, which hopefully is appreciated.

Out of all the work we did in 2021, 99.9% of our awesome clients paid in full, so I think our business practices are sound.
