The domain name licence agreement is between the registrar and the
registrant.

A reseller is required to inform the registrant of this at the time of the
registration.
ie the reseller is required to inform the registrant that the domain name is
supplied by the registrant.  Just as a mobile phone retailer will generally
let you know which carrier (Telstra, Optus etc) is providing the mobile
phone service.

The WHOIS information reflects this.

A registrant can in the case of Melbourne IT, find out the name of their
reseller if they are not sure.
