You have to be aware that the actions “lease”, “sell” etc are defined by the ODRL Common Vocabulary = a controlled vocabulary. Therefore: a) check your spelling as the strings are actually identifiers, uppercase makes the term invalid, and b) each term has a definition, if the definition of “lease” is “for a fixed period” then a user must not apply “no time limitations” but define for which time exactly the lease applies.
