Retainer/Deposit Clause Samples

A Retainer/Deposit clause establishes the requirement for the client to pay an upfront sum before services commence. This payment is typically held by the service provider and may be applied toward future invoices or held as security against non-payment or cancellation. By requiring a retainer or deposit, the clause ensures the provider is compensated for reserving time or resources and reduces the risk of financial loss if the client fails to follow through with the agreement.
