    Use of dallas keys / ibuttons

    Thanks ChannelCommerce. Do you have any recommendations for buying ibutton readers - preferably with USB interface. It seems there are loads of places selling the ibuttons but the readers are harder to source.

    Use of dallas keys / ibuttons

    It is mainly for security. We had an instance recently where a junior member of staff found out the 4 digit pin of a supervisor (who has greater privileges when logged in) by looking over his shoulder when he typed it in once. He was then logging in as the supervisor and covering his tracks when...

    Use of dallas keys / ibuttons

    We have a bespoke epos system developed in house running on desktop pc's. At the moment users authenticate themselves by typing in a 4 digit pin number.

    Use of "real leather" symbol

    Does anyone know about using the "real leather" logo (the one that looks like a flattened animal skin) on garments? Is there some authority you have to apply to in order to use it? Is there a specific name for this logo? Is the logo copyrighted? Or do you just stick it on your leather garments...

    I'm a retailer and one of my suppliers faces this problem (and they do have some valuable brands). They have started offering a "discretionary discount" on their branded goods. If you comply with certain terms then you get the discount, otherwise you don't. And if you're not getting that...

    What questions to ask when taking up business trade references?

    We are opening our first 30 day credit account for a customer (another business). I knocked up a credit account application form - that was easy as I have lots of examples from other companies. Now I need to follow up the 2 trade references they supplied. What do most people ask for? I'll ask...

    Rent Review

    But what notice period do you have to give to exercise the break option? Wouldn't you have to give notice before you know what the rent increase is going to be? I have to give 3-6 months notice to break, and I had a break option set at 12 months after the rent review. It means I could...

    Rent Review

    With mine last september, they proposed a 40% increase. I wrote back and said 0% was more appropriate. I never heard anything back and have been paying the same rent since then!
