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.
