  1. Registration Details

    This is the information you provide when you register for an account on Cole8 PRIMER. It is divided into two following categories:

    (a) Basic Details: This includes your first name, surname and country. These are required for Cole8 to have a basic knowledge of account holders on Cole8 PRIMER. This information is not made public nor is it shared with a third party. You can however, choose to make any of it public through your profile by explicitly changing the settings within your account.

    (b) Login Details: This consists of: (i) Email: This is your active email account. It is required as a unique identifier for your account and it must first be validated before your account can be activated. Your email is required for logging into your account. (ii) Password: This is required to secure your account and to prevent illegal access to your account. It is your responsibility to use a secure password and to keep it secret. You agree to bear all loses that may arise from your failure to keep it secure and secret.

  2. Security Questions

    For enhanced security of your account, you will be prompted for the creation of security questions. This information is used for providing alternative login in the event of access loss to primary email as well as loss of password.
  3. Profile

    One primary use of Cole8 PRIMER is to create a public profile of yourself or your business. This service is optional and is disabled by default. You can enable it by making at least your first name, last name and a contact detail or personal web page public. These will be displayed whenever there is a search on the Cole8 search service, that matches the name of the person who owns the profile.

    Information that you may wish to make public on your profile includes your (a) basic details - a profile picture, name, sex, age, etc, (b) contact details - street address, email, phone, fax, etc, (c) personal web pages - your personal pages on websites outside Cole8.

    You can make all or part of each of these items public by ticking the checkbox or any other control that is provided for that purpose. Also, you can change your settings at any time. All your profile information is non-public by default.

    Please note that you are NOT required to create a public profile of yourself, hence, you do not have to make public any of your information. Any information, once shared cannot be withdrawn with all certainty as it may have been copied or re-shared by anyone who accesses it. Hence, take caution when sharing your personal information. It is recommended that you make public a minimum of information with links to your personal web pages.

  4. Ads

    Cole8 PRIMER is used for "collating" ads. Hence, this use case is fundamental to the design of the Cole8 PRIMER service. Cole8 PRIMER (otherwise simply called "PRIMER"), provides tools that enable you create several highly targeted ads, to be displayed alongside related search results on the Cole8 search service. You can create, activate, inactivate and delete ads anytime you wish.

    To make these possible, you interact with the service by providing relevant information regarding what you promote. These include: (a) Ad Details: These include the title, body, and a web page (if any) associated with the ad. The title and body of the a d are required. A "Search Term" to be associated with the ad is also required. (b) Contact Details: This may include name (of an individual or organization), address, email, telephone and fax for further information.

    In addition to these two, Cole8 PRIMER automatically injects the time on which the ad was created (or last modified). ALL information provided as part of an ad is PUBLIC. Make sure to provide only needed contact information. If a web page is provided, then no contact detail is required. Otherwise, at least one contact detail is required. Since all ads are public, Cole8 may reproduce, further share, transmit and communicate ads, through means which currently exist (such as Cole8 PRIMER) or other means that may be developed in the future. Please be aware that not all instances of this ad can/may be removed from the media through which they are transmitted or shared or redistributed. By using the service, you agree to provide true, accurate non-offensive, non-discriminatory and current information in all your ads. You agree that consequent to a violation of this condition, Cole8 may, without warning, suspend or terminate your account.

    Note: You must be an authorised representative of any individual or organization whose products or services you promote on Cole8 PRIMER. Also, before you share contact details of any individual or organization, be sure to obtain permission to do so. You agree that Cole8 shall not be held liable for any loss or litigation that may arise from the violation of this stated condition.

  5. Invites

    Cole8 PRIMER enables you to easily extend its services to your friends. All you need do to invite a friend to use PRIMER is supply the friend's name and email. Cole8 will automatically send an invite on your behalf.

    Cole8 will not share your friend's name or email with anyone.
