But you cannot use the template through their service without paying

They are copying the template so copyright law applies. The CC NC
license only gives them permission to copy if they use the work
noncommercially.
If a hosting company provided music streaming services and placed a
copy of the new Justin Timberlake single on the server for people to
stream if they want, this would be commercial use. The same logic
applies here.
