Questions to ask before you sign

What is the delivery date, and what credit or exit right do I get for each week of delay?
Do fees start only after the cluster passes an acceptance test I can run?
Can I step down the number of GPUs or shorten the term if my needs change?
Are there price escalators, overage rates or price reviews during the term?
Can I move to newer GPUs or another region during the term, and on what terms?
How is the prepayment credited back, and is it refunded if you can't deliver?
What is the liability cap, and does it cover the fees I've committed?
Can the prepayment be smaller, or credited back faster?
