As I see it, the client sent terms on e-mail which you have accepted and then proceeded further.
If the email came from a person so authorized from his official email I'd it is admissible evidence , AFAIK.
As already said by me as well as others the choice is yours. It has happened to every recruiter - and will continue to. An association works only with clear support which the recruiter fraternity lacks presently .
If the company is having no stance to begin with, it may not come to a legal standoff. You can escalate the matter to the MD / legal department and if they are sensible recovery should happen. However you can forget future business then - whether you want the same per their revised - verbal - terms is the call you really have to take.
Reputed companies honor their agreements. They value the efforts a recruiter makes and do not deviate from agreed terms. They also know how difficult it will be for them to get talent if the word spreads - no recruiter would touch them and instead at every opportunity would advise candidates not to join them. Not even a small company would like that to happen and generally it's owner / MD would see this view.
Just my opinion.
