Not really AGPL, they just advertise AGPL and mean something else. Avoid.

Hmmm... they link to the AGPL and state it's under that. In a conflict between the two, the website extras, and the AGPL requirements, which would win?

I personally think the AGPL would win, but it's not something I'd be willing to enter a legal battle over.

Not a lawyer but these could be valid additional terms under section 7 (likely 7b) of the AGPL.
