Because of this sentence from Cloudflare's Terms of Service:
"You further agree that if...Cloudflare, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary due to excessive burden or potential adverse impact on Cloudflare’s systems, potential adverse impact on other users, server processing power, server memory, abuse controls, or other reasons, Cloudflare may suspend or terminate your account without notice to or liability to you" [1].
If you don't want that kind of a service relationship, you negotiate a fixed-term contract up front.
[1] https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/ Section 10; also see § 15 (Termination)
that doesn't mean a judge wouldn't put the monetary damages square on cloudflare
> that doesn't mean a judge wouldn't put the monetary damages square on cloudflare
Section 10 (Termination) says "you expressly agree that in the case of a termination for cause you will not have any opportunity to cure." Sections 25 and 26 require arbitration under the AAA's rules and California law. I'd put the odds of remedy at close to nil. These (mandatory arbitration and contractually-agreed upon indemnification for termination of services) are well-set areas of law.
