Would this flat fee be per year or for the whole duration? (I was just wondering...)

Anyway - back in the good old days of the Internet, before SPAM and the tasteless commercialisation of the Internet, there were companies that offered all sort of things 'free for life'.

However, they ALL (ok - i'm ready to hear about any exceptions) turned on us in the end and changed their terms of service such that they either somehow managed to terminate those 'free' services' or they changed their service model such that the 'free' services were simply a ***** version of their paid ones, or 'capped' or limited in some way as to make them all but useless.

In the same way, I'd expect anyone offering the deal you're looking for to have some get-out clause that ensures that 10 years down the line, when you think you've got it all worked out, they'll be able to squeeze you some more.
