Legal Matters

From time to time, Wayfair is involved in claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, Wayfair does not currently believe that the outcome of any ongoing legal matters will have a material adverse effect on Wayfair's results of operation or financial condition. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be costly and time consuming, as it can divert management's attention from important business matters and initiatives, negatively impacting Wayfair's overall operations. In addition, Wayfair may also find itself at greater risk to outside party claims as it increases its operations in jurisdictions where the laws with respect to the potential liability of online retailers are uncertain, unfavorable, or unclear.
