No, if you gave them the deposit called for in the contract, by doing so, you should your acceptance of it and agreement to its terms: contracts can be accepted by actions as well as by signing them. Having signaled your acceptance of the contract, you are bound by its terms, including as to the non-refundability of the deposit.
