Rewritten Article by Me Upon Refund to Client

I had a client who sent me an article to rewrite. I rewrote it just as the original article entailed. However, he claims that it's grammatically incorrect and inaccurate. All I did was take the information I had from the piece and write a new article. Therefore, he has given up all claims to this article based on the acceptance of the refund.
