Vouch may offer additional services or products or modify or revise any of the Services at our discretion, and this Agreement will apply to all additional services or products and all modified or revised Services unless otherwise indicated. Vouch also reserves the right to cease offering any of the Services. You agree that Vouch shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, revision, suspension or discontinuance of any of the Services. Your use of certain Services may be subject to additional terms and conditions, and such terms and conditions will be either listed in this Agreement, or will be presented or accessible to you by Vouch when you sign up to use, or use, such Services ("Additional Terms").
