 will be involved in such litigation in the future or what impact such litigation would have on our business. If we were to be involved in litigation and it was determined adversely, it could require us to pay significant damages or to change
aspects of our operations, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results. Even claims without merit can be time-consuming and costly to

defend and may divert management’s attention and resources away from our business and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Additionally, routine
lawsuits over claims that are not individually material could in the future become material if aggregated with a substantial number of similar lawsuits. In addition to increasing costs, a significant volume of customer complaints or litigation could
adversely affect our brand and reputation, regardless of whether such allegations are valid or whether we are liable. We cannot predict with certainty the costs of defense, the costs of prosecution, insurance coverage or the ultimate outcome of
litigation or other proceedings filed by or against us, including remedies or damage awards, and adverse results in such litigation, and other proceedings, may harm our business and financial condition.

We are subject to risks related to online payment processing, including third-party payment processing-related risks.

We currently rely on a limited number of providers to provide payment processing services, including the processing of payments from credit
cards and debit cards, and our business would be disrupted if such vendors become unwilling or unable to provide these services to us and we are unable to find suitable replacements on a timely basis. If we or our processing vendors fail to maintain
adequate systems for the authorization and processing of credit card transactions, it could cause one or more of the major credit card companies to disallow our continued use of their payment products. In addition, if these systems fail to work
properly and, as a result, we do not charge our customers’ credit cards on a timely basis or at all, our business, revenue, results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.

The payment methods that we offer also subject us to potential fraud and theft by criminals, who are becoming increasingly more sophisticated,
seeking to obtain unauthorized access to or exploit weaknesses that may exist in the payment systems. In addition, we are subject to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”). PCI DSS is a specific set of comprehensive
security standards imposed by payment card networks on companies that process credit card information, related to enhancing payment account information security, including, but not limited to, requirements for security
