Yes you can sue a company from another state, the question is where, e.g. does the company have sufficient contacts with your state for the courts of your state to exercise jurisdiciton over it relating to this dispute or do you have to sue it in its home state?  In this case, because the company solicited you (presumably in your home state) I think you could probably sue it in your home state except that it is likely that your contract will have either an arbitration clause (requiring you to litigate any dispute in arbitration) or an exclusive forum clause (requiring you to litigate any dispute in a particular court of a particular jurisdiction).
