1. About the Company

This Terms of Service Agreement (the "Agreement") outlines the terms and conditions under which you may use the website owned and operated by Goognu Data Services Private Limited – New Zealand (“Goognu,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Agreement also applies to the use of any products, courses, services, or subscriptions offered by Goognu through this website.

We may modify this Agreement at any time by updating it here on the website. If changes are made, we will indicate the date of the latest update at the top of this page. Any changes will be effective immediately once posted. Your continued use of the site after any update indicates that you accept the revised terms. We recommend that you review this Agreement from time to time to stay informed about any updates or changes.

This Agreement does not change or override any separate written agreement you may have with Goognu for other services or offerings. If any conflict arises between this Agreement and another written agreement, the written agreement will prevail for the specific product or service it covers.
