Read the agreements. That's the answer. Now if you have a legal contact that
requires them to transfer it to you under certain circumstances, and they
don't do that, then you would have to pursue that within the legal system, and
get a judgement, which would then permit Opensrs to transfer it to you on order
of the court.
