There is a balance, some clients may try to screw you royally but there is also a bit of flexibility on both sides that can be used without having to go down to every hour billed etc. IMO contractors with that attitude don't go far at all. They will do the minimum possible and the client knows it. Come renewal time the wheat gets sorted from the chaff. Don't let them screw you over but don't look like a moaning tight arse either.
Try and find out where the flexibility is and their expectations of how often this will happen before going in and potentially shooting yourself in the foot. After a quiet chat if it does appear they are going to have you over a barrel over the duration of the contract then push back if you feel you need to.
