Sure. Hire a lawyer and sue, you'll probably get your money back. Beyond
that, if you paid via credit card and you feel that a vendor failed to
deliver what type promised, reverse the charge with your credit card
provider and call it a day.
Note that if you reverse charges in this way, it doesn't alleviate you
of the debt, but it does force them to pursue you via the legal system,
which will likely not be possible if they did actually violate the
agreement (and it won't be worth their time for a small amount of money
anyway)
