What he said.
In legal circles, it is called "setting a precedent". If you let it slide now, and the next one is a major deal, their lawyers can say you let it slide this time, so you can not complain about them.
This sounds an awful lot like a conversation you and I had months ago Kris when I told you about protecting your rights and interest in your renderings. Get a standard contract now, before you do anymore renderings so you will have a leg to stand on (not if but) when this kind of thing arises. Believe me, this is just the tip of the iceburg.
