[kɪl fi]
A payment made to a freelancer when a project is terminated before completion, typically due to circumstances beyond the freelancer's control.
This fee compensates the freelancer for the work already done and protects them from losing potential income. It serves as a financial safeguard, ensuring that freelancers receive fair compensation for their time and effort, even if the project does not reach its intended conclusion.
