So they were "for life": the life of the service.
I think the true meaning of "for life" is the life of the product.
For some strange reason people seem to interpret "for life" as meaning their own life. People tend to be egocentric.
Most companies would not make a commitment for a person's lifetime, because some people live forever. Especially in Belgium.
