Am I under contract if no goods or services have been exchanged?

We signed what we thought was a credit check to find out if we qualified for 2 differing amounts of windows with installation. Turns out after reading the sheets we actually signed 2 different contracts with different amounts of cost and number of windows. We were expecting a call to let us know which credit check came through, and instead we got a call after the 3 business days we would have been able to cancel trying to set up a final measure. So we apparently got approved for the larger purchase but were not notified of this going through. I did put down $50 as a good faith payment.
