No stuff is one thing. Different stuff deployed to client's url is quite another.
It's not the client's url if they didn't pay for it.
In the case of a URL it might be.
If the domain is registered with the client named as the formal owner, the client may well be the owner even if they haven't paid for it yet.
Then the client can move the DNS for the domain and use a server they control and have paid for.
