Leases come in all different shapes, forms and conditions. To replace what the companies misleadingly call "Buy" today, they terms would just be "Pay X up front and get access until we cannot provide the service anymore for X,Y,Z reasons".

In many places, ground/land is leased that way, where you pay a sum up-front and are allowed full ownership for 99 years or something like that.



"Pay upfront, lease product X and purchase accompanying recurring services provided for product X", maybe?
