They cannot keep your money without providing the service they are supposed to provide: doing so is a breach of contract (the agreement under which they are to provide service in exchange for payment). Unfortunately, if they won't voluntarily repay you, to enforce your rights and get your money back, you would need to sue them for breach of contract, such as in small claims court as your own attorney ("pro se").
