They can't. The registration expiration date is managed at the registry (and they've already paid the registry for all of those years).

Better check this at the registry. I've noticed that this group of companies has a new policy regarding domain renewal: let the client pay at date X and update the registry just within hours before the domain expires. Paying 9 nine years in advance might just result in the obligation of this company to renew the domain 9 times for you, unless you move out of course.... Dark patterns is becoming the standard.

This seems like it would be a violation of the registry's/ICANN's contract. Do you have more info on this?
