I'm not an expert on Delta's Contract of Carriage (but any number of folks around here will profess to be). I believe you will find that Delta is not OBLIGATED to transport you specifically in the class of service you have booked, even if on a PAID ticket. For example, if you purchase a First Class ticket and Delta has to do a last-minute equipment swap to an aircraft with only coach seating, Delta will transport you in coach (and, I believe, do some type of refund. They may also offer you the option of being rebooked onto another flight with the appropriate class of service).
