Any client work should have an estimate attached for the reasons stated in the article, I would even extend this to projects for relatives or projects for which you're not actually taking payment. In those cases you can estimate to what you would charge normally and then have a discount line-item of whatever percentage to show what your work costs, but that you're doing it at a reduced rate. My other comment though is that some of the content of the article seems better suited to the actual contract terms rather than fine print on the estimate. Or perhaps keep the fine print and say something like, "Terms subject to change pending final contractual agreement." That way, they get a taste of what the final terms might be, but won't balk if they see something they don't like and don't have the appearance of negotiation.
