How are you guaranteeing that sites on 1MB will live forever?

  They are redefining "forever" to mean "until the service closes".

    This reminds me of "lifetime" warranties on products where "lifetime" is defined as some arbitrary lifetime of the product, rather than the lifetime of the buyer.

    That's...pretty much the guarantee for any product that claims "lifetime". The Tilley clothing company (best known for their hats) warrants many of their items "forever" as in (and I quote) "leave it in your will". That all goes out the window if Tilley goes out of business, however.

      I don't know, that analogy doesn't quite seem right. This company is providing a service, not producing a product - it's more like if the Tilley clothing company said something like "we will continue manufacturing hats forever".
