To help Resource users get the best experience possible, we've put together a set of best practices which aims to guide the use of Resource's products and services.

This Best Practices Policy (“Policy”) applies to the use of any product, service or website (the “Services”) provided by IDK Labs, Inc. d/b/a Resource (“Resource” or “we” or “us”), whether we provide it directly or use another party to provide it to you.

This Policy is designed to ensure compliance with the laws and regulations that apply to the Service, and protect the interests, goodwill and reputation of Resource and Resource’s clients and their customers. Please read it carefully and reach out if you have any questions.
