Distance Selling Regs - do they apply here?

Hi
I don't know if this is in the right place but here goes.
I have a small business and on 25th March signed up to a website who (for a fee obviously) would "advertise" my business by way of links in appropriate categories. Now I know I should have done some more research before I agreed, but the sales lady did a fab job, answered all my questions and gave me a great discount.
Today I have done some research and have decided that it will be a total waste of money. I rang to cancel and the person I need to speak to isn't in today and will ring tomorrow. I mentioned that I was within my 14 days right to cancel and all they have said so far is that it isn't in their T&C's and where had I got this 14 day rule from. I mentioned the Distance Selling Regs, but I would like to know that I am within my rights to cancel.
I haven't as yet paid anything (the invoice arrived today giving me 7 days).
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

The distance selling regulations apply to consumer purchases. As your purchase appears to be on behalf of your business the regulations won't apply.0

Just want to echo utterbar.... the regs don't protect businesses.0
