What countries are involved? Apr 24, 2023

I take it that you are based in the USA. In what country is your client settled and therefore which jurisdiction is applicable if it came to the worst?

I have worked in November 2022 on a project for a company. I emailed them every week about the payment. They told me that the project was canceled by their client and didn't get paid yet.

This is just to tell you that I had almost the same experience with a translation agency based in France. After several months and reminders, they eventually paid. I like the suggestion, I see in this post thread, of asking directly the customer if indeed they did cancel that project.
