Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Contract obligation

I signed an agreement for delivery of 8 seperate shipments of frozen food and meats. I am moving soon and no longer want the remaining 2 shipments. The supplier wants to be paid a 35% cancellation fee. I don't think he is entitled to be paid for a service not rendered. Do I have a legal recourse to cancel the agreement?

Maybe not. You will have to read the agreement you entered into. I am sure the price was negotiated based on all shipments being made and paid for by you. The Seller would argue that the price charged was based on the agreement and a higher price would have been charged for a lesser number of shipments. If you are unsure of what you can do, you will have to consult an attorney to review your agreement and advise you of your rights and obligations.
