Wow, this is a terrible idea. Pointing all your domains to a service you don't control with no formal, legal contract on what they can and can't do with the domains you point at them?

Same as getting out of the bed every morning...

If they stop offering their service, just change your DNS record, and viola. I do not see how this could be a dangerous to you.

With some ISP's caching DNS for >48 hours regardless of your TTL. And sometimes browsers caching pages for even longer. Stopping offering the service is fine. Ending up with your domain pointed to a site that isn't yours is an entirely different thing. They could run a phishing site and users wouldn't have any way of knowing.
