Risk Factors (Continued)
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry (continued)
If we fail to protect and maintain our brand, our ability to attract and retain customers will be impaired, our reputation may be harmed and our business, results of operations,
and financial condition may suffer.
Our business is subject to substantial competition from a diverse group of competitors. New products and pricing strategies introduced by these competitors could decrease
our market share or cause us to lower our prices in a manner that reduces our operating margin.
We experience competition from companies that offer technologies designed to allow companies to better use and extract insights from existing, internal databases, or free
information resources and from technologies that are designed to allow companies to gather and aggregate data from online sources.

We may be unable to adequately fund research and development, which could limit introduction of new features, integrations, and enhancements, which may limit our ability to
compete effectively.

We may not be able to adequately protect our proprietary and intellectual property rights in our data or technology.
If we fail to offer high-quality customer experience, our business and reputation will suffer.
If we are not able to obtain and maintain accurate, comprehensive, or reliable data, we could experience reduced demand for our products and services.
Our failure to raise additional capital or continue to generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in new technologies in the future could reduce our
ability to compete successfully and harm our results of operations.
Cyber-attacks and security vulnerabilities could result in serious harm to our reputation, business, and financial condition.
Interruptions or delays in services from third parties, including data providers, data center hosting facilities, internet infrastructure, cloud computing platform providers, and
other hardware and software vendors, or our inability to adequately plan for and manage service interruptions or infrastructure capacity requirements, could impair the delivery
of our services and harm our business, which may result in, for example, reduced customer satisfaction, damage to our reputation, limited growth and reduced revenues.
We are subject to sanctions, anti-corruption, anti-bribery, and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject us to criminal penalties or significant fines and harm
our business and reputation.
If we cannot maintain our company's culture as we grow, we could lose the innovation, teamwork, passion and focus on execution that we believe contribute to our success and
our business may be harmed.
The failure to recruit and retain qualified personnel could hinder our ability to successfully execute our business strategy, which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial position and operating results.
Failure to keep up with rapidly changing technologies and marketing practices could cause our products and services to become less competitive or obsolete, which could
result in loss of market share and decreased revenues and results of operations.
Risks Related to Certain Tax Matters
Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate and additional tax liabilities may impact our financial results.
Changes in tax laws or regulations in the various tax jurisdictions we are subject to that are applied adversely to us or our paying customers could increase the costs of our
products and services and harm our business.
Our results of operations may be harmed if we are required to collect sales or other related taxes for subscriptions to our products and services in jurisdictions where we have
not historically done so.
