In 2014, we opened our first office outside the United States, and we have expanded our operations abroad, including as a result of acquisitions. Our international expansion has created and will create significant challenges for our management, administrative, operational and financial infrastructure. Operating in international markets requires significant resources and management attention and will subject us to regulatory, economic and political risks in addition to those we already face in the United States. Because of our limited experience with international operations and developing and managing sales in international markets, our international expansion efforts may not be successful.

Some of the specific risks we will face in conducting business internationally that could adversely affect our business include:

•the difficulty of recruiting and managing international operations and the increased operations, travel, infrastructure and legal compliance costs associated with numerous international locations;

•our ability to effectively price our multi-tiered subscriptions in competitive international markets;

•our ability to identify and manage sales partners;

•new and different sources of competition in each country or region;

•potentially greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable and longer payment cycles;

•the need to adapt and localize our products for specific countries, including differences in the location attributes and formats used in each country and differences in languages, for example in the case of our search product, which relies on natural language processing; 

•the need to develop integrations with new third-party applications used by international customers; 

•the need to offer customer support in various languages;

•fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which could increase the price of our products outside of the United States, increase the expenses of our international operations, or have a negative impact on our revenue and expose us to foreign currency exchange rate risk;

•difficulties in understanding and complying with local laws, regulations and customs in foreign jurisdictions;

•compliance with U.S. laws and regulations for foreign operations, including, without limitation, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, import and export control laws, tariffs, trade barriers, economic sanctions and other regulatory or contractual limitations on our ability to sell in certain foreign markets, and the risks and costs of non-compliance;

•compliance with international laws and regulations, including without limitation, those governing privacy, data security and data transfer, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which may impair our ability to grow our business or offer our service in some locations, may subject us to liability for non-compliance or may require us to change our business practices;
