; our Hosts, Guests, other consumers, and corporate and community partners could devalue the content of our platform; and our brand,
reputation, business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. 

We have been, and may in the future be,
subject to claims that we or others violated certain third-party intellectual property rights, which, even where meritless, can be costly
to defend and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. 

The internet and technology
industries are characterized by significant creation and protection of intellectual property rights and by frequent litigation based on
allegations of infringement, misappropriation, or other violations of such intellectual property rights. There may be intellectual property
rights, including registered or pending patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and applications of the foregoing, held by others that they
allege cover significant aspects of our platform, technologies, content, branding, or business methods. Moreover, companies in the Internet
and technology industries are frequent targets of practicing and non-practicing entities seeking to profit from royalties in connection
with grants of licenses.

We have received communications
alleging unauthorized use of third-party trademarks in the past, and may receive in the future, communications from third parties, including
practicing and non-practicing entities, claiming that we have infringed, misused, or otherwise misappropriated their intellectual property
rights. Additionally, we have been, and may in the future be, involved in claims, suits, regulatory proceedings, and other proceedings
involving alleged infringement, misuse, or misappropriation of third-party intellectual property rights, or relating to our intellectual
property holdings and rights. Intellectual property claims against us, regardless of merit, could be time consuming and expensive to litigate
or settle and could divert our management’s attention and other resources.

Claims involving intellectual property could subject
us to significant liability for damages and could result in our having to stop using certain technologies, content, branding, or business
methods found to be in violation of another party’s rights. We might be required or may opt to seek a license for rights to intellectual
property held by others, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. Even if a license is available, we could
be required to pay significant royalties, which would increase our operating expenses. We may also be required to develop alternative
non-infringing technology, content, branding, or business
