Push further or surrender?

Dearest community,

I hope you’re all having a lovely week so far!

I’m facing a bit of a conundrum as of late and I need some advice on the matter:

An agency reached out to me for Herboxa and after having a brand call and discussion the details of what they wanted went great. After the call, I sent them an email with everything we spoke about to have it all in writing. They were going to provide me with a contract and the scripts for 3 videos to be done in Greek. I received the products 1 week later. (BTW, I reduced my price for 3 videos because they said they would provide me the scripts)

So far so good, right?

Well, now they have sent me the scripts 3 weeks later and they are in English. Which means that I will need to adjust them into native Greek, therefore I have to kind of write them and they STILL haven’t provided me with a contract. After I told them very professionally that since the scripts will need some time to be adjusted and the price was reduced because I wouldn’t need to spend time on them, I upped the price to close to the initial I provide. They told me they’d pay that if I agreed to upload the videos on my own socials.

Also, I still haven’t received a contract from them and not only they told me they’d provide me one, but they’re complaining that we’ve lost too much time (in bold letters might I add) and they need them, while I’ve specified I need it for a more coherent collaboration.

I refuse to put in the work without the contract because I’m not in the mood to get scammed, but does anyone else have any suggestions? Is there something I can work around and win in the end?

Thanks a lot in advance!
