You have to pay--according to what you write, 75% of the full amount due, which is actually better than it could have been: they could have required 100%. Once you sign a contract, you are obligated for the full amount due under it--there is no cooling off or cancellation period, canceling 5 minutes later is as bad as cancelling 50 days later, and whether or not the services were rendered is irrelevant, since the contract binds you as soon as you sign.
