Any such software and Services are provided to You "as is" without warranty of any kind either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties or conditions of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

Third-Party Software
WAGONOSE provides some third-party software to You for easier account management including, but is not limited to cPanel, etc. Such software is provided on an "as is" as available basis. We do not guarantee that any specific results can be obtained by using such software. WAGONOSE does not take responsibility for any faults in such software functioning.

By using WAGONOSE Services that include such third-party software, you specifically agree to the relevant third-party terms of service and that You shall use the services in accordance with such terms. The following are examples of where you attest that You agree to third-party software terms. The examples are not exhaustive. If You order cPanel to use for Your hosting services, Your order constitutes explicit agreement with cPanel’s terms and You authorize WAGONOSE to agree to such terms on Your behalf. The terms of service for cPanel may be found here. If You purchase Microsoft Windows for a dedicated server and request that WAGONOSE manually assist You with installation of this product, Your request constitutes explicit agreement with Microsoft Windows’ terms of service and You authorize WAGONOSE to agree to such terms on Your behalf.

You can add and use third-party software on Your account only if it is compatible with Our servers and is approved by WAGONOSE. Your use of any third party software is at Your own risk. WAGONOSE does not control and therefore cannot be responsible for any third party software performance and provides no guarantees that its use will result in any particular outcome or result.

If You elect to sell or resell advertising or web space to a third party then You will be responsible for the contents of that advertising and the actions of that third party. WAGONOSE has the absolute right to reject any advertising or other third party content that is illegal, offensive or otherwise in breach of the then current WAGONOSE policy or agreement. Such content may result in the suspension or in the immediate termination of Your account. You are responsible for monitoring all service renewals and orders. In the event that an error occurs the account holder must notify WAGONOSE immediately of the error. In no event shall WAGONOSE be liable to the Account Holder for any damages resulting from or related to any failure or delay of domain registration, transfer or renewal.
