Does Verizon have A One Year contract?

I was just curious because I have an iPhone 4S and starting to get bored (this is the Longest I've had a Phone without it messing up <8 months>) with it and I want to upgrade it for my birthday (May 10) and I've been considering to get the Iphone 5 it's just a thought though… I don't want to ask my dad because I don't want him to think I'm ungrateful or anything

They only have 2year contracts…

You can get a one year contract but not at all places that carry verizon (3rd party stores like walmart). But you will pay more for the phone than if you did a 2year contract.
