How does that even work when they don't pay? Do they take them to courts?
Depends on the terms/contract. Since its twitter I'd think they'd have a contract, which states duration and how much they pay. Once they don't pay, as long as the contract states they can cutoff service, well they cutoff service and/or servers. But again, depends on what's in said contract.
Ok thank you, that clarifies it a bit :)
