Re: getting my money back

Generally, if one party breaches a provision of a contract, the other party is excused from his obligations. You didn't ask a specific question, so I would need to look at the contract to comment specifically on your situation.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
