 required to correct device bugs or to implement proactive firmware updates to our IoT devices, we have often implemented over-the-air firmware updates to devices that are deployed in the field. If such updates do not perform as anticipated, they may prolong interruptions and performance problems and otherwise impact our reputation and relationship with our customers. Additionally, an improperly configured or deployed update, or our failure to adequately develop and deploy updated technology, may cause performance or security issues or disable certain devices in the field, as has occurred in the past. Such an error could require us to fix or replace such devices and may harm our relationship with the impacted customer or customers. Fixing or replacing such devices is costly and would have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

In addition, any data that we license from third parties for use in our solution may contain errors or defects, which could negatively impact the analytics that our customers perform on or with such data. This may have a negative impact on how our solution is perceived by our current and potential customers and could materially damage our reputation and brand.

The sale and support of our solution entail the risk of liability claims, which could be substantial in light of the use of our solution in enterprise-wide environments. We may not have adequate contractual protections in place with our customers, users, joint-design manufacturers, third-party vendors, service providers, and partners to protect against costs and liabilities resulting from defects in our solution or components therein. Any limitation of liability, warranty disclaimers, or indemnity provisions that may be contained in these agreements may not be enforceable, adequate, or effective, including as a result of existing or future applicable laws or unfavorable judicial decisions, and they may not function to limit our liability or otherwise protect against costs arising from defects or errors, regulatory enforcement, or otherwise.

In addition, our insurance against liability may not be adequate to cover a potential claim and may be subject to exclusions, including the possibility that the insurer will deny coverage as to any future claim or exclude from our coverage such claims in policy renewals. The denial of our claims by our insurers or the successful assertion of claims by others against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation. Further, there are no assurances that adequate product liability insurance will continue to be available to us in the future on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
