The first thing is to read the agreement/contract to see what it says about "not meeting the deadline" and what damages are available in the document. Then if that does not have the "remedy", then I would suggest that you speak with that person to discuss a full refund and the costs of the headache. If they do not respond in a reasonable manner, then suggest mediation...there are several mediation services that are free and/or low cost.
