Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies (a)Lease and Other Commitments The Company entered into various non-cancelable operating lease agreements for its facilities. Refer to Note 10 for additional detail on the Company's operating lease commitments. Additionally, the Company has contractual commitments with its cloud infrastructure providers, network service providers and other vendors that are noncancellable and expire within one to three years. In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company entered into several such agreements with terms of up to three years for a total purchase commitment of $103.8 million. Future minimum payments under these noncancellable purchase commitments are summarized in the table below. Unrecognized tax benefits are not included in these amounts because any amounts expected to be settled in cash are not significant:

2024 |  | $ | 254,547 |
2025 |  | 241,056 |
2026 |  | 231,803 |
Total payments |  | $ | 727,406 |
Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal actions, claims, and government investigations or inquiries arising in the ordinary course of business. These matters may include, but are not limited to, matters involving privacy, data protection, data security, intellectual property, competition, telecommunications, consumer protection, taxation, securities, employment, and contractual rights. While the Company currently believes that the final outcomes of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, the results of any current or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and 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. The Company accrues for contingencies when the Company believes that a loss is probable and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss. To the extent there is a reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized may be incurred and the amount of such additional loss would be material, the Company will either disclose the estimated additional loss or state that such an estimate cannot be made. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability of a loss and to estimate the amount of any probable loss. Legal fees and other costs related to litigation and other legal proceedings are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In 2020, the City and County of San Francisco (“San Francisco”) assessed the Company for additional Telephone Users Tax (“TUT”) and Access Line Tax on certain of the Company’s services for the years 2009 through 2018. The assessments totaled $38.8 million, including interest and penalties. The Company paid the assessments under protest in the third quarter of 2020. On May 27, 2021, the Company filed a lawsuit against San Francisco in San Francisco Superior Court challenging the assessments. The parties agreed to a settlement agreement that was approved by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors and Mayor on November 7, 2023 and November 9, 2023, respectively, pursuant to which San Francisco paid the Company $18.0 million in November 2023 in settlement of the Company’s claims. The related impacts to the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 were not significant. Indemnification Agreements In the ordinary course of business and in connection with its financing and business combination transactions, the Company enters into contractual arrangements under which it agrees to provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to business partners, customers and other parties with respect to certain matters, including, but not limited to, losses arising out of the breach of such agreements, intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties and other liabilities relating to or arising from the Company’s products or its acts or omissions. The Company has also signed indemnification agreements with all of its board members and executive officers and certain employees that may require the Company to indemnify them for certain events in connection with their services to the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no amounts were accrued related to any outstanding indemnification agreements. Other Taxes The Company conducts operations in many tax jurisdictions within and outside the United States. In many of these jurisdictions, non-income-based taxes, such as sales, use, telecommunications and other local taxes are assessed on the Company’s operations. The Company carries reserves for certain of its non-income-based tax exposures in certain jurisdictions when it is both probable that a liability was incurred and the amount of the exposure can be reasonably estimated. These reserves are based on estimates which include several key assumptions including, but not limited to, the taxability of the Company’s services, the jurisdictions in which its management believes it had nexus and the sourcing of revenues to those jurisdictions. The Company continues to remain in discussions with certain jurisdictions regarding its prior sales and other taxes that it may owe. In the event any of these jurisdictions disagree with management’s assumptions and analysis, the assessment of the Company’s tax exposure could differ materially from management’s current estimates. As of December 31, 2023, the liabilities recorded for the non-income-based taxes were $18.0 million for domestic jurisdictions and $22.2 million for jurisdictions outside of the United States. As of December 31, 2022, these liabilities were $29.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively.
