Hi Jason - mundane accounting question: how do you account for revenue deferral? I believe in general you're supposed to match revenues and expenses as they are incurred providing the services. i.e. Up-front revenue gets deferred over the lifetime of a contract, because you will incur costs of servicing that revenue during that whole time.

How does this work when there is no actual term?

(Sorry if this is off-topic - we're thinking through some pricing model stuff, and this was top of mind!)
