In reply to a post by XRaySpeX:

Yes, but you can't turn the clock back unilaterally! A contract is an agreement that, once made, can only be voided by both parties consenting.

Edit - rest of this now redundant as I read your later reply to Wheel_Nut afterwards.

He hasn't attempted to void the contract. He is terminating the service proved under it and expecting to pay the full amount for which he contracted. A penalty charge for early termination but with full payment may or may not be sustainable in court, it is certainly lousy business practice.

I believe that this is Bob's point.

Indeed, the first of the two alternatives is my point .
