You mean it might not be valid for at least three years. It also might be.
You also might go out of business in less than three years.

You're not violating the GPL simply because you might not be able to honor
your offer in less than three years. You're violating the GPL when you in
fact fail to honor it.

I do agree that providing a link to a third party URL is risky, but I do not
agree that it doesn't comply with the GPL.
