Fixed that for you.
No, the owner is making a business decision based on the experience of how his business works, just as Often1 explains.
The sentence might as well end here. You want to get out of a binding contract you signed. That's all there is to it.
Yup.
So in your opinion, attempting to use the leverage I have in this situation to get a more favorable outcome for me is being a jerk?
But weighing the probabilities that he will profit from a cancellation rather than offer a refund contingent on dates getting rebooked is a "business decision"

Got it, Thanks.
