I dunno, seems a bit "open" to me. Maybe they'll use that against you when 
you try and transfer away from them. There's also this:

http://staples.register.com/service-agreement.cgi?1||CO2999#15

"You acknowledge and agree that register.com may suspend, cancel, transfer or 
modify your use of the Services at any time, for any reason, in 
register.com's sole discretion."

"for any reason"? How about, "because we want to".

The phrase "too good to be true" springs to mind. As their share price 
demonstrated, register.com are pretty stupid, but they're not *that* stupid. 
Are they? :)
