Is commercialization possible based on a product released under the GNU AGPLv3 license?

There is a web application licensed under the GNU AGPLv3. I want to make a commercial service that will deploy an application for clients, host it. I will take money for support services.

Is it possible to use this product under the GNU AGPLv3 license?

It is advisable to indicate the possibility of commercial use in the text of the license (I did not find it) and / or wikipedia - some kind of reliable source than to be guided by.

The license requires you to distribute the source code for any changes, respectively, if changes are made to the product during the operation of your service, they must be published (for example, in the form of patches for the source code). The license does not require hosting, consulting, configuring, etc. for free. But in the terms of the service, it is necessary to explicitly stipulate what services it provides for money, so that users and inspection bodies do not have misunderstandings and illusions that the product is paid.
