Can someone explain why a product "registered and paid for until 2040" can be unilaterally voided like this without compensation?

That's the crazy part - they can take your money, prorated to some future-period but, upon cancellation, the remaining future period of YOUR money becomes THEIR immediate revenue recognition. Is it fraud or theft? To me, it has to be one or the other...

Because they haven’t been sued enough yet?
Especially when the marketing was saying [1]:
> As your .name can be registered for up to 10 years and ownership is renewable, your .name really can be yours for life.
It seemed like there was an offer of renewable registration at least for a life term.
