I like to say we're a marketmaker for cloud contracts. Our recommendations take our current inventory into account and it's been very effective considering the amount of 'trades' we successfully make each day. That aside, We also have a considerable amount of cash set aside for an event like this.

Is the inventory risk assumed by usage?

Reading through your T&C it looks like you refund us with credits on your platform - sounds like monopoly money to me?
