Tariffs may also have an inflationary effect on the prices of goods and services, including those that we utilize in the production of our products and delivery of our services. If we are unable to manage such inflationary pressures, such as by passing along price increases to our customers or reduce product costs or operating expenses in other areas of our business, our gross margins, cash position and other elements of our results of operations may suffer. The global credit and financial markets have also generally experienced severe volatility and disruptions. A severe or prolonged economic downturn, such as the global financial crisis, could result in a variety of risks to our business, including our ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all.

These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting and other business arrangements. Such misconduct could result in legal or regulatory sanctions and cause serious harm to our reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct, and any precautions we take to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses, or in protecting us from governmental investigations or
