Would you have to pay the cancelation fee for a signed contract that was not completed by the company?
You're asking whether you are bound by the terms. Maybe, but this depends on the context.
If you have real concerns, I suggest that you consult with a lawyer in private, have the agreement reviewed and discuss in more detail. You can start by calling around to several for a free phone consultation, get some insights then pick the best fit to work with.
If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.
Our firm is now referred by the American Bar Association (see under the New York section): http://www.americanbar.org/groups/delivery_legal_services/resources/programs_to_help_those_with_moderate_income.html
