Actually there is a hierarchy of agreements.  An auDA registrar is bound
by an agreement with its supplier (the registry), as well as bound to
agreements with auDA, resellers, and registrants.

It is a matter of contractual negotiation between registrars and
resellers.

Again a reseller has a choice whether to enter the pre-defined onerous
agreements with the registry and auDA, or enter a usually less onerous
agreement with a registrar which is subject to commercial negotiation.

A registrant has an agreement with the registrar (the domain name
licence agreement), and may or not have in addition an agreement with a
reseller.
