Another point to consider - what if the company hosting your data goes bankrupt? The receivers will likely turn off the servers abruptly, without giving you any time to extract your data. While you might eventually be able to get your data back, it could take months or even years.
Write an escrow of the data into your contract. Require a regular copy that is available under any legal filing. We've done this in the past with source code from smaller vendors.
