Business Ethics Question

I wanna ask you all a little question just out of Curiosty .

Lets say Client X comes to you and wants $20000 worth of product at a bulk rate over 1 month at a great bulk rate of 50% off and you give it to him to insure a solid month .

Now half way throught the order client X puts the order on hold for an unspecified amount of time then 6 months later returns and wants the remainder of the order at the same rate .


What would you do ?
Your terms clearly state that you can rerate the project and refund any balance in such a situation , which in this case there is none cause the project is 70% done .

Or work double time around the clock to make up on an order 6 months later that you bulk rated to make a month go by with a guarrenteed service order , at the same time as you have to work to eat etc .

Im gonna work it out , as long as there is no immediate pressure , but I am curious to see what you would do .


Numbers and amounts are real so take this into account while reading .
