In this context, I found it difficult to set and implement a cancellation policy. By their mere existence, boundaries such as a cancellation policy set the foundation for mutual respect between the client and consultant. I placed the cancellation policy in my contract right above my guarantee. This is a cardinal mistake!

If you were, say for example, to add WishList Member to Men with Pens and offer a paid level of content, you would be, essentially, creating a product.
