Does cancelling a recent contract affect my JSS?

[aabramowitz]

Hello everyone, 

Today a client has hired me to do an eBook for him, after a quick meeting and interview he decided to go forward with me. After I was hired, a few things showed up on the clients' side that made my eyebrow go up. 

I wasn't feeling comfortable so I decided to close the contract and refund the milestone.

Now I'm wondering if it will affect my JSS since I closed the contract? 
Thank you, 
Andre

If you haven't been paid anything, then yes, it will have a significant negative effect on your JSS.

Oh well, at least I'm not working with someone I'm not comfortable with. 

Thank you.

Without naming names, what made your eyebrow go up?
