1.1.14 Contact Information
If you have any questions regarding these Terms of Use, please contact Verisign.
A service mark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that is used by a business to identify a service, like the hosted services operated by Verisign, to distinguish the service offered by the competition; in this way, service marks are analogous to a trademark. (For the purposes of this discussion, unless distinctions are made, "trademarks" refers to both trademarks and service marks).
Trade names are corporate or business names and are not trademarks. A trade name identifies the provider of the business or service rather than the product itself. As a result the trade name does not designate or distinguish goods. Verisign is a trade name when it refers to the company (i.e., VeriSign, Inc.). When Verisign is referred to as a company, no trademark indicator is required.
