I will try to start of simply here.
My company had a signed contract with our customer to do a pre determined value of work, will say 10,000 linear feet of wiring.
Half way through the first day of the project the customer said they wanted to decrease the linear footage of the wiring. We verbally explained then and there that it wouldn't change the price of the project because the new layout requested created additional layout labor even though less wire installation was involved. The customer said they understood and told us to proceed anyways.
After the project was completed we tried to collect on the invoice and the customer said he would only pay a partial amount of the contract.
My question is what is my legal footing here? More specifically, have I lost my ability to collect on the signed contract because of the reduced values that were installed?
I hope this makes sense and thank you in advanced.
