Non-cancelable Material Commitments
During the nine months ended October 31, 2023, other than certain non-cancelable operating leases described in Note 6, Leases, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business to the Company’s contractual obligations and commitments from those disclosed in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Legal Matters
The Company investigates all claims, litigation and other legal matters as they arise. From time to time, the Company has become involved in claims, litigation and other legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property, labor and employment and breach of contract claims. For example, on March 12, 2019, Realtime Data LLC (“Realtime”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that the Company is infringing three U.S. patents that it holds. On May 4, 2021, the District Court granted certain defendants' motion to dismiss without prejudice. Realtime filed an amended complaint on May 18, 2021, which the District Court dismissed on August 23, 2021. On August 25, 2021, Realtime filed a notice of appeal of the Delaware District Court’s order. The oral argument took place before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on February 10, 2023. On August 2, 2023, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued an opinion affirming the District Court's order in favor of the Company. On October 31, 2023, Realtime filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court requesting the U.S. Supreme Court to review the lower court's decision. The Company believes the Federal Circuit correctly decided the matter, and it intends to continue to vigorously defend itself in the event of any further future appellate proceedings and any other potential future claims.
Although claims and litigation are inherently unpredictable, as of October 31, 2023, the Company does not believe that any legal matters, if determined adversely to the Company, would individually or taken together have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company accrues estimates for resolution of legal and other contingencies when losses are probable and estimable. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
Indemnification
The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, including business partners, landlords, contractors and parties performing its research and development. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse the indemnified party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities. The terms of these indemnification agreements are generally perpetual. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable. To date, the Company has not incurred material costs as a result of such commitments. The Company maintains commercial general liability insurance and product liability insurance to offset certain of the Company’s potential liabilities under these indemnification provisions.
The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. These agreements require the Company to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with the Company.
