 or new Applications. There can be no assurance that the necessary licenses would be available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Third parties may terminate their licenses with us for a variety of reasons, including actual or perceived failures or breaches of contractual commitments, or they may choose not to renew their licenses with us. In addition, we may be subject to liability if third-party software that we license is found to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate intellectual property or privacy rights of others. The loss of, or inability to obtain, certain third-party licenses or other rights, the inability to obtain such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could result in product roll-backs or delays in product releases until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, if at all, and integrated into our solution, and it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Moreover, the use by our solution of software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties on a nonexclusive basis could limit our ability to differentiate our solution from products of our competitors and could inhibit our ability to provide the current level of service to existing or prospective customers.

Changes in or the loss of third-party licenses could lead to our solution becoming inoperable or the performance of our solution being materially reduced, resulting in the potential need to incur additional research and development costs to ensure continued performance of our solution or a material increase in the costs of licensing, and we may experience decreased demand for our solution.

Risks Related to Government Regulation

Federal and other governments and independent standards organizations have implemented and may implement in the future significant regulations or standards that could adversely affect our ability to produce, market, or sell subscriptions to our solution.

Our solution is subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions, and may become subject to additional laws and regulations, and we devote considerable resources to the analysis of their applicability to our solution and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could require us to incur significant compliance, research and development, and other costs, penalties, and fines; adversely impact our business reputation and customer relationships; and otherwise adversely affect or make impossible our ability to produce, market, and sell subscriptions to our solution. For example, some of our IoT devices are required to obtain product certifications in certain jurisdictions, and failure to comply with those requirements would prevent or limit our ability to operate in those jurisdictions.
