What is a restricted reseller and when do I contact them?

A reseller is a company or organization that sells the Techloq filter to customers. Many TAG offices and other resellers are 'restricted.' If you choose to have your account associated with a restricted reseller, requests that your reseller has chosen to supervise will be directed to them for approval instead of Techloq. This usually includes high-risk categories and uninstalling the filter. Click Here for more info
