Material Breach Protection for Serial Rejection

According to Section 5A.iii of a properly drafted interior design agreement, rejecting more than 80% of presented options without reasonable cause constitutes material breach. This isn't about being harsh - it's about protecting your business from clients who waste your time and resources.

How This Protection Works:
• You track all selections presented vs. approved
• Once 80% rejection threshold is reached, you can terminate immediately
• You retain all fees paid and aren't required to continue wasting time
• Section 28A allows termination with written notice after material breach

Real-World Application:
I've seen designers present 240+ options over months, only to have clients reject 90% without constructive feedback. This clause prevents that scenario - it forces clients to engage constructively or face consequences.

Key Documentation:
Always track: selection date, client response, reason for rejection. This creates the evidence trail you need if termination becomes necessary.
