Early termination of contract

Hi
I signed up for a 12 week mentorship coaching programme and after 8 weeks, it's underwhelming. Whilst there have been some helpful activities, I just don't believe it's worth the money.

I have paid monthly in advance, and next month's payment was due last week. The coach has said I do need to pay as I will be in breach of contract, however I can see that if I miss a payment, the service will be terminated, which is fine by me. I'm also paying in advance, so there's no service I have used which I owe for.

I've copied the termination clause here

^The Client understands that the full investment of the 1-1 program is $

upfront, split into monthly payments of $ or _ bi-weekly payments of

$__. You agree to pay the purchase price and
not to cancel this transaction with your bank or credit card company.
Fees for services may be prepaid. Missed payments may result in suspension
or termination of services.
If after 10 days from a missed payment you have not made arrangements with the Coach to make up the payment, your services will be cancelled, and no fees will be refunded.

In the event of the Client’s absence, withdrawal, or non-participation for any reason whatsoever, the
Client will remain responsible for the full amount paid with no refund.
The Coach reserves the right to cancel the program if at any point she or he feels it is not
advantageous for the coaching program to continue. If this happens, the Client is only responsible for
the pro rata share of coaching services received.
This Agreement will stay in force and effect until the end of the term indicated on your order form.
Failure to pay required fees may result in Coach terminating the Agreement prior to the end of the
term and discontinuing your access to services.^

Im based in the UK and the mentor is based in Texas if this makes a difference.

You signed up for a course, you need to pay for it - if you choose not to finish the course, that's up to you, but you still need to pay in full

UNLESS you can prove that there is a breach of contract from their side

@BritInUS1
Thanks for your reply.
I did consider that however I read it differently since it says paid (past tense), meaning (to me), that if you have prepaid for your month and are absent, don't show up to your sessions etc you aren't permitted a refund. Which I get.

I'm talking about the next month on, which I haven't paid for. I was looking at the missed payment after 10days that services can be terminated, so wonder if I could just wait for that, but want to make sure I am not in breach.
