No choice? That's just the way it is, it can't be helped? Did God himself come down and decree that Herokai *MUST* only hold data for 30 days? Did the FBI come in an threadten to charge your executives with sedition?

Yea, no. You decided to make the decision for contracts to be that way. The fact that you "fought hard" but that decided on the 30 day retention anyways means that clearly the opinions of engineers don't matter and that the company is completely captured by the lawyers and out of touch executives. It hardly inspires confidence.

It also doesn't at all address the fact that you failed to contact an apparently paying customer that their data was about to be nuked, contract or no.
