Does linode provide a legal agreement that I can use in a contract with my client that specifies things such as limitation of liability? It would be similar to the Linode terms of service but it would be between my client and me (not Linode).

You're going to want to contact your attorney or other competent legal counsel. Linode does not practice law at this time.

Well, it seems like GoDaddy does provide that service for its resellers.

To my untrained eye, it basically looks like they take their (GoDaddy) terms of service and globally replace "GoDaddy" with the resellers company name. But it could be a little more than that. It's definitely a nice thing to have.

linode does not have a specific reseller business like godaddy does

And to your untrained eye you couldn't replace "GoDaddy" with your own name and use it here because?

Legal agreements neither solve or prevent problems - it's just a ticket to court where the highest paid lawyer will win.

Does Linode allow me to take the Linode terms of service and incorporate it (entirely or partly) in my own contract with my client?

I wouldn't think they would mind, but I wouldn't modify it too much, or any really. Your clients must agree to Linode's terms, which is why I think (though, I'm not a lawyer and cannot speak for Linode, obviously) that it would be fine.

What you could also do is have multiple checkboxes.

[X] I agree to [your reseller name]'s Terms of Service.
[X] I agree to Linode's Terms of Service.

And then link directly to Linode's ToS (include your affiliate URL if you're concerned about lost sales, so that you at least get something).

However, official clarification from Linode would be ideal.
