Contract assets are defined as an entity's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the entity has transferred to a customer when that right is conditioned on something other than the passage of time. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had no contract assets. Contract liabilities are defined as an entity's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration (an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had contract liabilities that primarily related to unsatisfied performance obligations to provide customers with the right to use and update the online content over the remaining contract term of $468.2 million and $443.2 million, respectively. The $25.0 million increase in contract liabilities from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 was primarily due to billings of $418.5 million that were paid in advance, partially offset by $393.5 million of revenue recognized for the year ended December 31, 2020. Contract liabilities, which are current and noncurrent, are included in "Deferred revenues" and "Other liabilities" in our consolidated balance sheets, respectively, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Our most significant remaining performance obligations relate to providing customers with the right to use and update the online content over the remaining contract term. Revenues expected to be recognized in the future related to performance obligations, included within our deferred revenue and other liabilities, that are unsatisfied were $468.2 million and $443.2 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Our disclosure of the timing for satisfying the performance obligation is based on the requirements of contracts with customers. However, from time to time, these contracts may be subject to modifications, impacting the timing of satisfying the performance obligations. These performance obligations, which are expected to be satisfied within one year, comprised approximately 99% of the balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. We recognize an asset for incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefits of those costs to be longer than one year. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, we had deferred commissions of $73.8 million and $63.7 million, respectively, which have been included in "Prepaid expenses" and "Other assets" in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
