What specifically do you mean by "cancels domains prematurely"?

I mean canceling the domain early, before the contractually agreed up expiration date.

These are two quite different cases from "what happens to the domain" perspective, and for Namecheap I don't see the formal problem - I don't believe the accreditation requires them to never terminate a customer contract, and the domain remains active and can be transferred.
