While I empathise with the OP, I would add: - never-ever really trust any company assurances or contracts. Especially if they're way bigger than you are, always assume they WILL fail you and you'll have no recourse outside of litigation—and even then... :-/ Always have a backup plan for important stuff. Always. No exceptions. More in general, avoid every single point of failure you can afford to.
