If they have violated their contract and failed to complete the services they had agreed to provide and for which you had paid and do not voluntarily reimburse you, you could sue them. You would sue them based on breach of contract, or violation of the agreement. The law does not allow them to keep your money without providing their services. Based on the amount at stake, suing in small claims court, on a "pro se" basis (as your own attorney) may be a good option. Suing is the *only* way to get your money back if they will voluntarily repay you.
