from those in the United States. In addition, we will face risks in doing business internationally that could adversely affect our business and results of operations, including:

•the need to localize and adapt our platform for specific countries, including translation into foreign languages and associated expenses; 

•privacy and data protection laws that impose different and potentially conflicting obligations with respect to how personal information is processed or require that customer data be stored in a designated territory;

•difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations;

•regulatory and other delays and difficulties in setting up foreign operations;

•different pricing environments, longer sales cycles, longer accounts receivable payment cycles, and collections issues;

•new and different sources of competition;

•laws and business practices favoring local competitors;

•compliance challenges related to the complexity of multiple, conflicting, and changing governmental laws and regulations, including employment, tax, sanctions, privacy, data protection, and security laws and regulations;

•increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

•declines in the values of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar;

•restrictions on the transfer of funds;

•potentially adverse tax consequences;

•the cost of and potential outcomes of any claims or litigation;

•changes in tax laws or tax regulations;
