The typical responses you'll get here are summed to as "sucks to be you". The attitude of allowing larges places to have opaque processes for termination of a business relationship is staunchly defended here. To the point that you have no idea if it was even legally allowed for them to terminate the relationship. Just because you're a business doesn't mean you can absolutely refuse service for any reason at all. I also find it kind of funny that the same people would largely not grant the same rights to someone who refuses to decorate a cake in Colorado. Even though there's likely hundreds of other cake shops and decorators they could go to.

This is one of those situations where most people will never care or they will blame you until it happens to them. This is absolutely something we need the legislation or at least the FTC to be involved with to greatly curtail these terms of service based things. Especially if you're in a business to business relationship this should be governed by a contract and not a one-sided terms of service which may or may not be legal and you had zero negotiating power in. With a contract there is actual specific provisions and methods required to terminate the contract early. Those things must be documented and defensible but terms of service is just good luck.

The most laughable but also the most common argument in defense of these one-sided terms of service that I see from hacker news people is if they tell you exactly what you did wrong and gave you a chance to remediate it then you could work the system and not do that anymore. I thought that was the whole idea if you know absolutely what is right and what is wrong you can avoid doing what is wrong. But apparently having a guessing game what is appropriate and why it is appropriate and what is not and why it's not is par for the course for the vast majority of hacker news people.

Is this a business or is this a dating relationship?

When was the last time you bought a cake from a shop that made you sign an EULA? I don't think many people would visit a bakery that has an "arbitrary cake termination" clause, because most people smell something suspicious when they have to agree to terms before shopping somewhere. Not on the internet, though.
