Can I get my deposit back if the vendor cancels?

Yes — if the vendor breaches or fails to perform, you're generally entitled to a full refund of deposits under ordinary breach-of-contract principles.

What if the contract has a no-refund clause?

No-refund clauses typically don't survive the vendor's own material breach or failure to show up, and courts often refuse to enforce forfeiture in that situation.
