You must be over 16 years of age to register with Businessballs,
or older if the laws of your land say so.
The terms and conditions and
about Space provide helpful explanation for using
the Space on Businessballs.
You can control whether your email address is public or private
after activating your registration. It will be private unless you change it to
public.
Your Spacename is your username for login.
Spacenames must be 10-25 characters. Permitted characters
are letters, numbers, hyphen (-) and underscore (_).
Spacenames are not case-sensitive (you can use upper or
lower case).
Word spaces are not permitted - instead use a hyphen (-) or
underscore (_).
Your Spacename will appear in the space listings alongside your
content.
Your Spacename is also be your folder name on the website
and will form part of your URL (website address on Space).
So choose a Spacename that is suitable - ideally based on your own
name, a nickname, or your business name.
Spacenames that are stand-alone generic descriptive words or
phrases such as 'psychometrics' or 'personaldevelopment' or 'trainingmaterials'
or 'teambuilding' are not encouraged. Nor are Spacenames permitted which seek
to 'squat' on a name which belongs to someone else, such as a brand name.
If you really feel the need to register a strong generic spacename
please make good use of it - otherwise you may lose it.
Spacenames containing the word balls are not permitted. If your
name or your business name contains this word then contact me and we'll try to
make an exception..
Spacenames that are not registered in good faith or which attract
complaints will be liable for removal.
password
Your password can be anything up to 15 characters long - letters
and/or numbers - not case-sensitive.
first name and surname
Insert your first name and surname and your email address.
This can be amended after activating your registration.
email address
Your email address will be private unless you set it to
public after activating your registration.
You can add a second email address after activating your
registration, which you can also set to public if you wish.
Your first email address cannot be changed other than by special
request.
Your second email address can be changed by you at any time by
logging in and clicking on 'my profile'.
When you register, these two fields are optional (geographical
area introduced March 2007), and are limited to the number characters that
display in the Space listings.
The first 35-40 characters of your 'short description' and the
first 10 characters of your geographical area 'reach' will appear in the Space
listing. (Exact number of characters varies because some characters are wider
than others.)
These brief details in your short desciption and
geographical area will help people see quickly what you offer or seek
and where.
These fields are helpful to you - the information appears
alongside your name in the search and display listings.
As the Space becomes busier and more populated these short
descriptions of what you offer (or what you seek) and where you are or what
area you cover will become increasingly important.
People viewing the listings will not bother to click on names
which have no descriptions attached. People looking for specific types of
providers, services and geographical indicators will be attracted to
appropriate descriptions alongside people's names in listings.
While registering you must confirm your agreement with the
terms and conditions of the Space website.
When you register you will be sent an email asking you to validate
your registration by clicking on a weblink.
This is to ensure registrations are legitimate, and to protect
people from being registered by someone else, and hopefully to prevent
automated multiple registrations and other nuisances.
Therefore ensure your email protections do not block the
validation email from Businessballs, otherwise you will not be able to
complete your registration.
Registration has initially been designed to work with MS Internet
Explorer. Firefox (Netscape) and Safari should also work, although maybe not
always so well. In the future this functionality will be improved and
extended. |
