Of course. If you don't pay your annual lease, do you retain any
rights to it? No.

Many leases are "assignable."

No, I never said that. And if you decide to use a different reseller,
than you will have already done a transfer, and I have no further
interest in you. The point is that in NO event does OpenSRS have any
direct contact with you.

And that is entirely his right. Again, where did I say differently?
