Not true.
You can substitute ANY service provider into this situation -- NATS, MPA, ES, ObjectCube, even CCBill or Paycom -- and the situation still looks ugly.
Profanity and a hang-up does not constitute a breach of normal contract terms. Posting on a message board that you're suspending someone's license because of these things (not completely but making reference to them DOES include them in the situation to be thought through) is just insane from a marketing point of view.
No one wins in this situation, no matter what happens in court. NATS has shown themselves to be willing to hold programs hostage, XClusive Cash have shown themselves to be perhaps unwilling to sort things out without resorting to attorneys/lawsuits and the webmasters who send traffic to XClusive Cash are the ones losing out no matter how you look at it.
Frankly, if I were XClusive Cash, I'd say fuck it, and send my webmasters a check based on their last months payouts IMMEDIATELY, or I'd average their last three months payouts and send them a check for that amount. You don't need NATS to do that, you can look at the checkbook and figure it out. That alone would take care of alot of the ill-will towards XClusive Cash while the rest is sorted out.
If I were NATS, I'd have kept my mouth shut on the boards about it all and let XClusive shoot themselves in the foot having to bring it to the boards without some serious answers for the situation in hand.
But of course, my post supposes a lot of what if I weres... this is a bad situation that will probably get worse. Deposition is a bitch and both sides are entitled to their days doing it. Many things that both sides probably don't want to talk about will be fair game during that time.
