“U.S. export control laws and regulations restrict or prohibit the export, re-export, and in-country transfer of certain commodities, software, and technology (including certain AI technologies) to restricted countries, governments, persons, and entities.”

“Changes in global trade or trade relationships, including new and retaliatory tariffs, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, trade agreements, trade embargoes and other trade barriers imposed by the U.S., China, or by other countries;”

“The export of certain technologies from the United States and other nations to the PRC is barred by applicable export controls, and similar prohibitions could be extended to Thailand, thereby limiting our ability to manufacture certain products.”

“For example, Trade Controls targeting Russia and Belarus, impose a license requirement for the export of our product to those countries, and have sanctioned various entities and individuals located there, while recent sanctions restrict the provision of certain cloud services to Russia.”

“We are subject to governmental export and import controls and trade and economic sanctions that could impair our ability to compete in global markets and subject us to liability if we are not in full compliance with applicable laws and other controls.”

“Quantum computing technology has been identified as a critical and emerging technology by the U.S. government and other governments and is subject to increasing export control scrutiny. The United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and other countries have implemented or proposed export controls specifically targeting quantum computing hardware, software, and related technology.”

“Changes in our offerings or changes in export or import regulations, including the implementation of adverse tariffs, may create delays in the introduction of our offerings in international markets, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our offerings throughout their global systems or, in some cases, prevent the export or import of our offerings to certain countries or customers altogether.”
