this is just normal internet business. When I worked at a smaller ISP/datacenter we had contracts with customers promising uptime and if we failed even because our own upstream providers had outages, we had to refund/credit based on the contracts.

Now the place I work for has huge contracts with Amazon and CloudFlare. I am not sure about the CloudFlare situation, but Amazon has refunded us hundreds of thousands of dollars for outages.

So it goes.
