Such statements are based on currently available information which management has assessed but which is dynamic and subject to rapid change due to risks and uncertainties that affect our business, including, but not limited to, competitive competitions in the social sponsorship segment in which IZEA operates, failure to popularize one or more of the marketplace platforms of IZEA and general economic conditions that may be less favorable than expected, and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, goals, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presently anticipated.
