Our products are subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security. Under these laws and regulations, exports of our products as well as the underlying technology may require export authorization, including by license, a license exception, or other appropriate government authorizations. Furthermore, our products and services are subject to U.S. economic and trade sanctions laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control that prohibit the provision of services and the export of hardware, software, and technology to embargoed jurisdictions or sanctioned parties without the required export authorizations.

Should we violate such existing or similar laws or regulations, we may be subject to substantial monetary fines or suffer reputational damage and other penalties that could negatively impact our business.
