 ## Objective
 
-In addition to providing [contacts](/pages/account_and_service_management/account_information/managing_contacts), registering a domain name requires you to enter information on the domain name owner. In this context, **owner** pertains to either a natural person or a legal person (private or public organisation) holding the usage rights to this domain name. **The change of owner** refers to the transfer of ownership rights from one person or company to another. The **owner** information has legal value. This process is mandatory if a company changes its name.
+In addition to providing [contacts](/pages/account_and_service_management/account_information/managing_contacts), registering a domain name requires you to enter information on the domain name owner. In this context, **owner** pertains to either a natural person or a legal person (private or public organisation) holding the usage rights to this domain name. A **change of owner** (domain trade) refers to the act of modifying this information in a legally binding way i.e. the transfer of usage rights to a new person or company. For example, this process is the mandatory procedure when a company changes its name.
