In addition, extraordinary client usage of our platform in the past has and may in the future cause our systems to operate at an unacceptably slow speed or even fail, temporarily or for a more prolonged period of time, which would affect our ability to process transactions and potentially result in some slower response times and delays in client actions, incomplete or inaccurate accounting, recording or processing of client instructions and orders, loss of client information, increased demand on limited client support resources, client claims, complaints with regulatory organizations, lawsuits, or enforcement actions. Although we currently have a business continuity and disaster recovery plan in place, it may not be sufficient nor do our systems provide absolute assurance of complete redundancy of data storage or processing.

In addition, we are continually improving and upgrading our information systems and technologies, including in connection with the introduction of new products and services and other efforts taken in connection with expanding our business. Implementation of new systems and technologies is complex, expensive, time-consuming, and may not be successful, and in certain instances the efforts by our engineering team to modify and extend our systems may inadvertently introduce bugs or other system errors. If we fail to timely and successfully implement new information systems and technologies, or effectively improve and upgrade our
