Generally speaking, a failure in any of the provisions of a contract voids the whole contract, unless otherwise stipulated in the contract. However, there is a famous cliche' that might provide some guidance here, namely; "A verbal contract is not worth the paper it's written on." Meaning that it is usually best for ones reputation to strive to settle any disputes that arise over verbal contracts in as equitable a fashion as possible--by extrapolation. Do your best to pretend that you are in the other guy's shoes, we say.

Yes, you can take it to court. It might depend on if they agreed to pay it in the first place. Or they might overrule it. ADDED: Is their name on the cable contract?

What does the phrase it is not worth the paper it is written mean?
The original expression refers to paper money, which some considered "not worth the paper it was printed on." Whatever is being written on the paper (your idea) is so pointless/bad/stupid/wrong that it is not worth the two cents that went into buying the paper. i.e. Your idea was so bad it wasn't even worth the extremely small amount of money that it cost to buy the paper.
If a dealership makes a mistake on a contract is it valid?
In dealings such as these, consult an attorney in your local area. A contract, even one with errors, is legally binding upon the signing parties. Hopefully the error is in your favour. Note that if you didn't have an attorney look over the contract, it could be completely different from what the dealership said. (A verbal contract is generally only worth the paper it's printed on.) I am not a lawyer. You should consult a local lawyer. It's always a good idea to have your own attorney look over any contract before you sign it.
