I signed up for events and adventure in the bay area CA. I decided to quit after two weeks without ever attending their events and i havent used any of their services. I emailed them asking to cancel and they are asking for a settlement of 1800 on top of the 500 i already paid. While i did sign a contract, none of this was ever explicitly explained to me during my interview about the penalties of quitting and i was asked to sign a contract on the stop without having that knowledge. I have read online that they do escalate to collections if you refuse to pay. What is my next best course of action if they do not accept my settlement of $500? Thank you in advance.
Location: Bay Area, California

What does the contract say about cancelation? How much would be owed under the total contract if you didn’t cancel?
They aren’t required to legally explain to you the penalties for quitting if those penalties are in the agreement you signed. It’s your responsibility to read and understand what you are signing.
