I see this as an acceptable risk. The only alternative I can think of is to maintain this information on my own website. I don't want to have to keep this updated every day.
Besides, by the time the one site drops this service, there should be plenty of other sites out there providing web services like this (I hope). Otherwise, I will then have to look at alternatives.
I'd rather maintain the exchange rates as a very last resort.
