That seems to only speak of data ownership, not domain ownership but I may
be missing something since I am not an expert in contract jargon.
The following section is interesting in relation to this thread:
3.7.4 Registrar shall not activate any Registered Name unless and until it is satisfied that it has received a reasonable assurance of payment of its registration fee. For this purpose, a charge to a credit card, general commercial terms extended to creditworthy customers, or other mechanism providing a similar level of assurance of payment shall be sufficient, provided that the obligation to pay becomes final and non-revocable by the Registered Name Holder upon activation of the registration.
The only method I can think of where "the obligation to pay becomes final
and non-revocable by the Registered Name Holder" would be if they paid by
cash. If they pay by check, they can put a stop payment after the domain is
activated. If they pay by credit card, they can do a chargeback. If they
pay by cash, that is non-revocable.
