Ouch!
I hate those companies being fuzzy on what (and how) can you do with
their products. If it can be done, just explain "how" and keep your
customers happy :-). If you don't allow apply something, tell your

which is worse :-(.

and failed at some point. In that case, I don't think you're going to
have any problem with the above steps but report back if something goes
wrong.
