In the UK, you would likely win in court, and be awarded £1 for your increased hosting costs. There isn't the concept of punitive damages for contract law here. YMMV. However. People report that you can get paid by sending a plausible invoice to a tech company. The culture disincentivises verifying purchase orders.
