You guys need to read the laws, you can't just keep repeating what you say and expect that to matter. I've explained why in this case the template is owned by us and how the laws work, its up to you to learn something from that.

Your relating web developing to contractor, which are complete 360's of each other.
When a template is sold, the creator of the template, or the person who is first selling the template, has to mention what the template comes with.
Resale Rights: Are the rights you get to
re-sell the design for whatever price you desire.
Full Rights: Are the rights you normally get with the design, which are your
rights to ownership and to reuse the design as you please.
Just because, you bought the design doesn't mean you bought it with Resale rights.
