Not 100%sure but was there not a law passed a few years back, dealing with a cooling off period. It was to deter sales people hounding the elderly into signing under duress.

you have the right to cancel within 7 days as this will come under the distance selling regulations. cooling off period so don't worry.

£175 to advertise your business they must be f**king be joking. try looking at http://tradersreview.co.uk they allow free business advertising or you can buy a better advert if you want.
