	The regulation of individual data is changing rapidly, and in unpredictable ways. A change in regulation could adversely affect its business, including causing its business model to no longer be viable. Costs associated with information security – such as investment in technology, the costs of compliance with consumer protection laws and costs resulting from consumer fraud – could cause its business and results of operations to suffer materially. Additionally, the success of its online operations depends upon the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, including the use of cashless payments. The intentional or negligent actions of employees, business associates or third parties may undermine its security measures. As a result, unauthorized parties may obtain access to its data systems and misappropriate confidential data. There can be no assurance that advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography or other developments will prevent the compromise of its customer transaction processing capabilities and personal data. If any such compromise of its security or the security of information residing with its business associates or third parties were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on its reputation, operating results and financial condition. Any compromise of its data security may materially increase the costs that StyleRow incurs to protect against such breaches and could subject us to additional legal risk.

	The Company relies on certain intellectual property rights to operate its business. The Company’s intellectual property rights may not be sufficiently broad or otherwise may not provide us a significant competitive advantage. In addition, the steps that StyleRow has taken to maintain and protect its intellectual property may not prevent it from being challenged, invalidated, circumvented or designed-around, particularly in countries where intellectual property rights are not highly developed or protected. In some circumstances, enforcement may not be available to us because an infringer has a dominant intellectual property position or for other business reasons, or countries may require compulsory licensing of its intellectual property. Its failure to obtain or maintain intellectual property rights that convey competitive advantage, adequately protect its intellectual property or detect or prevent circumvention or unauthorized use of such property, could adversely impact its competitive position and results of operations. StyleRow also rely on nondisclosure and noncompetition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties to protect, in part, trade secrets and other proprietary rights. There can be no assurance that these agreements will adequately protect its trade secrets and other proprietary rights and will not be breached, that StyleRow will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to its trade secrets or other proprietary rights. As StyleRow expands its business, protecting its intellectual property will become increasingly important. The protective steps StyleRow has taken may be inadequate to deter its competitors from using its proprietary information. In order to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, StyleRow may be required to initiate litigation against third parties, such as infringement lawsuits. Also, these third parties may assert claims against us with or without provocation. These lawsuits could be expensive, take significant time and could divert management’s attention from other business concerns. The law relating to the scope and validity of claims in the technology field in which StyleRow operates is still evolving and, consequently, intellectual property positions in its industry are generally uncertain. StyleRow cannot assure you that it will prevail in any of these potential suits or that the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, would be commercially valuable.
