If you have a contract with them then they can't arbitrarily choose who they do business with. OP would presumably have a chance at a lawsuit against cloudflare here, the success of which would depend on how well cloudflare argued the ToS violation. A lawsuit might not be worth pursuing here, but this isn't a case of "it can't be helped".

You signed the ToS, article 4 gives them the ability to terminate the service.

Courts generally require termination of contract to require a good reason, even when the clause says it can happen at the company's discretion. That doesn't lock them out of a court case, though it certain opens up which reasons cloudflare could argue the termination happened for.
