Can I legally change Flight School...?

This sounds like a stupid question to me, but I have been told by my flight instructor that, [for my hours gained so far to count] I am legally obliged to complete all training for a PPL licence with the same institution I began with.

I am enrolled in a "flight training academy" in Spain which I will not name and I am really not happy with the service.

I am about 25 hours in (fully paid up for 45 - [in instalments with three break points]) and I would prefer to find an independent flight instructor to continue my training and to book a skills test independently. I have passed 6 out of the 9 theoretical exams.

Am I legally able to do this or is my instructor correct ?

many thanks for any help

[for the sake of clarity, I am not asking about the legality of a refund - that is a another matter!]
