In this context, I think "and" could be reasonably argued to mean either "and" or "or". And given that the purpose of the contact information is "Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party" and not for identity verification, I'd guess that no company is willing to go to court to test this.
- mvdtnz 3y agoAnd means and. Arguing that and means or is an interesting strategy I suppose but and means and.
- organsnyder 3y agoBut is "and" being used to form a set of acceptable forms of identification (any of which would be sufficient), or is it joining the forms of identification together as all being required?
- thomastjeffery 3y agoIt's joining them all together, but the whole thing is presented as an example. Any avenue that provides the ability to contact presumably meets that standard. If Shopify were to alter their contact info requirement, it would clearly be with a different goal in mind than the one laid out in that sentence. That's assuming of course, that the current requirements have actually led to communication.
- organsnyder 3y agoComing back to add, I think the following sentences have identical meanings: "Acceptable forms of identification include driver's license, passport, and birth certificate." "Acceptable forms of identification include driver's license, passport, or birth certificate."
