I don't see any specification that they meant commercially only either. My friend frequently logs into my account to help level my profession while I'm working, and this has never been sanctioned, because account sharing IS allowed. But they were obviously able to tell the difference of you guys sharing, and you obtaining ownership of the account completely. Seems more than reasonable that they'll allow the original owner to reclaim the account. You just seem upset. Most people who get caught breaking a ToU normally are. Move on.
Also, marketing is not cheating. Never has, never will be.
