But if the loss per book encountered in the discount month exceeds the profit from the previous 11 months, then the retailer is in breach of contract.
One possible remedy is that they could only sell a certain number of books before the discount ends rather than ending a deal after a certain amount of time.

That way, they'd be able to automatically stop the discount before the loss per book exceeds profits.
