To add onto this, clerics power comes directly from their deity. However rare of an occurrence it may be, the deity can decide not to grant the cleric their spells, if they were so inclined.

Warlocks are granted knowledge of how to perform/access their power, in exchange for their service. If they fail to hold up their end of the bargain, the patron can refuse to teach them any more, but the warlock retains the knowledge and powers he has already obtained.

This is very open to interpretation, if only because most DMs are familiar with older rulesets that would make them lose their powers for breaking the pact.

There aren't any required mechanics but I'm sure there's a pactbreaker optional rule somewhere in the source books.
