 could
be materially harmed if we are unable to enter into or maintain these relationships on terms that are commercially reasonable to us,
or at all.

Harm
to our brand can arise from many sources, including failure by us or our partners and service providers to satisfy expectations of service
and quality, inadequate protection or misuse of personally identifiable information (“PII”), compliance failures and claims,
litigation and other claims, and misconduct by our partners or other counterparties.

We
are dependent upon consumers’ continued and unimpeded access to the internet, and upon their willingness to use the internet for
commerce.

Our
success depends upon the general public’s ability to access the internet and its continued willingness to use the internet as a
means to pay for purchases, communicate, research and conduct commercial transactions, including through mobile devices. The adoption
of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity or use of the internet, including changes to laws or regulations
impacting internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our products, increase our operating costs, or otherwise adversely affect
our business. Given uncertainty around these rules, we could experience discriminatory or anticompetitive practices that could impede
both our and our merchants’ growth, increase our costs or adversely affect our business. If consumers or merchants become unable,
unwilling or less willing to use the internet for commerce for any reason, including lack of access to high-speed communications equipment,
congestion of traffic on the internet, internet outages or delays, disruptions or other damage to merchants’ and consumers’
computers, increases in the cost of accessing the internet and security and privacy risks or the perception of such risks, our business
could be adversely affected.

If
we do not successfully maintain a strong and trusted brand, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

Our
results of operations may be adversely affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

We
are subject to risks related to changes in currency rates as a result of our investments in international operations and from revenues
generated in currencies other than the United States dollar. Our results of operations may be affected by such international operations
as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

From
time to time, we may utilize foreign currency forward contracts and other hedging instruments to mitigate the market value risks associated
with foreign currency-denominated transactions and investments. These hedging strategies may not, however, eliminate all of the risks
related to foreign currency translation, and we may forgo the benefits we would otherwise experience
