Our goal is to discover the best ways to unleash team creativity in pursuit of a better future. To do this, we need to keep our services running smoothly, quickly, and without distraction. For this to happen, we must protect our services from misuse or abuse and require you to do the same.

To describe exactly what we mean by “misuse” or “abuse” – and help us identify when this happens and react accordingly – we’ve created this Acceptable Use Policy. Under this policy, we reserve the right to remove content that is inconsistent with the spirit of the guidelines, even if it’s something that is not expressly forbidden below. In other words, if you do something that isn’t listed here explicitly, but it looks or smells like something listed here, we may still remove it.

This policy governs all the websites owned or operated by the New Rules for Work program (such as newrulesforwork.com and any related websites, sub-domains, and pages) as well as any hosted services operated by the program (“Services”).
