A party can change his position anytime before a contract becomes final. Assuming that you had no binding conttact until and unless the other side signed (which is not always the case if you had an oral agreement and the written one was just to memorialize it), then you still have no deal, and won't until either you agree to the other side's terms or they accede to yours.,
