I used to collect 50% up front with a cancellation clasue similar to yours, but would allow the last 50% to be paid upon delivery of the album and negatives (I didn't bother to hold them). I had a few customers who tried to stiff me on the last 50%, including two couples who's prints and negatives I destroyed before they could change their mind about paying as an object lesson in not breaking a contract.
