Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Snap Inc. is a camera company. Snap Inc. (“we,” “our,” or “us”) was formed as Future Freshman, LLC, a California limited liability company, in 2010. We changed our name to Toyopa Group, LLC in 2011, incorporated as Snapchat, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in 2012, and changed our name to Snap Inc. in 2016. Snap Inc. is headquartered in Santa Monica, California. Our flagship product, Snapchat, is a camera application that was created to help people communicate through short videos and images called “Snaps.” Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Snap Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on December 31. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). In our opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. Other than described below, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Management’s estimates are based on historical information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates relate primarily to determining the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluation of contingencies, uncertain tax positions, excess inventory reserves, lease exit charges, and the fair value of stock-based awards. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates our estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities.

Revenue From Contract With Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | 2. Revenue Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We determine collectability by performing ongoing credit evaluations and monitoring customer accounts receivable balances. Sales tax is excluded from reported revenue. We generate substantially all of our revenues by offering various advertising products on Snapchat, including Snap Ads, Sponsored Creative Tools, and measurement services, referred to as advertising revenue. Sponsored Creative Tools include Sponsored Geofilters and Sponsored Lenses. Sponsored Geofilters allow users to interact with an advertiser’s brand by enabling stylized brand artwork to be overlaid on a Snap. Sponsored Lenses allow users to interact with an advertiser’s brand by enabling branded interactive experiences. The substantial majority of advertising revenue is generated from the display of advertisements on Snapchat through contractual agreements that are either on a fixed fee basis over a period of time or based on the number of advertising impressions delivered. Revenue related to agreements based on the number of impressions delivered is recognized when the advertisement is displayed. Revenue related to fixed fee arrangements is recognized ratably over the service period, typically less than 30 days in duration, and such arrangements do not contain minimum impression guarantees. In determining whether an arrangement exists, we ensure that an agreement, such as an insertion order, has been fully executed. We sell advertising directly to advertisers (“Snap-sold” revenue) and certain partners that provide content on Snapchat (“content partners”) also sell directly to advertisers (“partner-sold” revenue). Snap Ads may be subject to revenue sharing agreements between us and our content partners. Our Sponsored Creative Tools and measurement services are only Snap-sold and are not subject to revenue sharing arrangements. Snap-sold revenue is recognized based on the gross amount that we charge the advertiser. Partner-sold revenue is recognized based on the net amount of revenue to be received from the content partners. We recognize Snap-sold revenue on a gross basis predominately because we are the primary obligor responsible for fulfilling advertisement delivery, including the acceptability of the services delivered. For Snap-sold advertising, we enter into contractual arrangements directly with advertisers. We are directly responsible for the fulfillment of the contractual terms and any remedy for issues with such fulfillment. For Snap-sold revenue, we also have latitude in establishing the selling price with the advertiser, as we sell advertisements at a rate determined at our sole discretion. We recognize partner-sold revenue on a net basis predominately because the content partner, and not Snap, is the primary obligor responsible for fulfillment, including the acceptability of the services delivered. In partner-sold advertising arrangements, the content partner has a direct contractual relationship with the advertiser. There is no contractual relationship between us and the advertiser for partner-sold transactions. When a content partner sells advertisements, the content partner is responsible for fulfilling the advertisements, and accordingly, we have determined the content partner is the primary obligor. Additionally, we do not have any latitude in establishing the price with the advertiser for partner-sold advertising. The content partner may sell advertisements at a rate determined at its sole discretion. For the periods presented, partner-sold revenue was not material. We also generate revenue from sales of our hardware product, Spectacles. For the periods presented, revenue from the sales of Spectacles was not material. The following table represents our revenue disaggregated by geography based on the billing address of the advertising customer: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2017 2018 (in thousands) Revenue: North America (1) (2) $ 169,102 $ 196,320 $ 457,849 $ 534,878 Europe (3) 27,788 49,033 56,824 120,364 Rest of world 11,047 52,342 24,583 135,382 Total revenue $ 207,937 $ 297,695 $ 539,256 $ 790,624 (1) North America includes Mexico and the Caribbean.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss per Share | 3. Net Loss per Share We compute net loss per share using the two-class method required for multiple classes of common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities include any shares issued on the early exercise of stock options subject to repurchase because holders of such shares have non-forfeitable dividend rights in the event a dividend is paid on common stock. In March 2017, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) in which we issued and sold 160.3 million shares of Class A common stock, inclusive of the over-allotment, at an initial public offering price of $17.00 per share and excluding shares sold in the IPO by certain of our existing stockholders. We received net proceeds of $2.6 billion after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $68.1 million and other offering expenses of $14.7 million. On the closing of the IPO, all shares of our then-outstanding convertible preferred stock other than Series FP preferred stock automatically converted into an aggregate of 246.8 million shares of Class B common stock and all outstanding shares of Series FP preferred stock automatically converted into 215.9 million shares of Class C common stock. Following the IPO, we have three classes of authorized common stock – Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. Before the IPO, our participating securities also included Series D, E, F, and FP preferred stock and Series A, A-1, B, and C convertible preferred stock. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, and the Series D, E, F, and FP preferred stock were substantially identical, other than voting rights. Accordingly, the Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and the Series D, E, F, and FP preferred stock shared equally in our net losses. The holders of early exercised shares subject to repurchase and the holders of Series A, A-1, B, and C convertible preferred stock did not have a contractual obligation to share in our losses, and as a result our net losses were not allocated to these participating securities. In connection with our IPO, our Series D, E, and F preferred stock converted on a one-to-one basis into Class B common stock, and our Series FP preferred stock converted on a one-to-one basis into Class C common stock. The liquidation and dividend rights of the aforementioned preferred series are substantially identical to the rights of the common classes into which they converted. Accordingly, we have presented the Series D, E, and F preferred stock outstanding before the IPO together with the Class B common stock, and the Series FP preferred stock outstanding before the IPO together with the Class C common stock for purposes of calculating net loss per share. The prior period presentation has been adjusted to conform to our current period presentation. Also in connection with our IPO, our Series A, A-1, B, and C preferred stock converted on a one-to-one basis into Class B common stock. The shares of Class B common stock that resulted from the conversion of the Series A, A-1, B, and C preferred stock are weighted in the denominator of net loss per share for Class B common stock for the portion of the time outstanding subsequent to our IPO. Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to each class of stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of such class of stock outstanding during the period. Vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that have not been settled, including the vested equity award granted to our CEO (“CEO award”), have been included in the appropriate common share class used to calculate basic net loss per share. For the calculation of diluted net loss per share, net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for basic net loss per share is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, including awards under our equity compensation plans. Diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the resulting net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of fully diluted common shares outstanding. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018, our potentially dilutive shares relating to stock options, RSUs, and common stock subject to repurchase, and, for the prior year period, shares of Series A, A-1, B, and C convertible preferred stock were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. The numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations for our common stock are calculated as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2018: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2018 2017 2018 (in thousands, except per share data) Class A Common Class B Common Class C Common Class A Common Class B Common Class C Common Class A Common Class B Common Class C Common Class A Common Class B Common Class C Common Numerator: Net loss $ (289,818 ) $ (62,288 ) $ (91,053 ) $ (240,299 ) $ (23,423 ) $ (61,426 ) $ (1,869,782 ) $ (561,713 ) $ (663,594 ) $ (777,184 ) $ (79,652 ) $ (207,407 ) Net loss attributable to common stockholders $ (289,818 ) $ (62,288 ) $ (91,053 ) $ (240,299 ) $ (23,423 ) $ (61,426 ) $ (1,869,782 ) $ (561,713 ) $ (663,594 ) $ (777,184 ) $ (79,652 ) $ (207,407 ) Denominator: Basic shares: Weighted-average common shares - Basic 806,353 173,304 253,336 968,090 94,364 247,464 688,690 206,894 244,420 932,767 95,598 248,928 Diluted shares: Weighted-average common shares - Diluted 806,353 173,304 253,336 968,090 94,364 247,464 688,690 206,894 244,420 932,767 95,598 248,928 Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders: Basic $ (0.36 ) $ (0.36 ) $ (0.36 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (2.71 ) $ (2.71 ) $ (2.71 ) $ (0.83 ) $ (0.83 ) $ (0.83 ) Diluted $ (0.36 ) $ (0.36 ) $ (0.36 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (0.25 ) $ (2.71 ) $ (2.71 ) $ (2.71 ) $ (0.83 ) $ (0.83 ) $ (0.83 ) The following potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented: Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2018 (in thousands) Stock options 31,106 16,999 Unvested RSUs 169,719 141,179 |

Stockholders' Equity | 4. Stockholders’ Equity We maintain three share-based employee compensation plans: the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (“2017 Plan”), the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (“2014 Plan”), and the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (“2012 Plan”, and collectively with the 2017 Plan and the 2014 Plan, the “Stock Plans”). In January 2017, our board of directors adopted the 2017 Plan, and in February 2017 our stockholders approved the 2017 Plan, effective on March 1, 2017, which serves as the successor to the 2014 Plan and 2012 Plan and provides for the grant of incentive stock options to employees, including employees of any parent or subsidiary, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards, performance cash awards, and other forms of stock awards to employees, directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of our affiliates. The following table summarizes the restricted stock activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2018: Class A Outstanding Restricted Stock Class B Outstanding Restricted Stock Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value per Restricted Stock (in thousands, except per share data) Unvested at December 31, 2017 156,005 7,791 $ 15.89 Granted 55,035 — $ 14.19 Vested (37,651 ) (5,218 ) $ 15.66 Forfeited (33,817 ) (966 ) $ 16.28 Unvested at September 30, 2018 139,572 1,607 $ 15.20 RSUs granted to employees before January 1, 2017 (“Pre-2017 RSUs”) included both service-based and performance conditions to vest in the underlying common stock. The performance condition related to these awards was satisfied on the effectiveness of the registration statement for our IPO, which occurred in March 2017. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to Pre-2017 RSUs was $269.2 million as of September 30, 2018 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. All RSUs granted after December 31, 2016 vest on the satisfaction of only a service-based condition (“Post-2017 RSUs”). Total unrecognized compensation cost related to Post-2017 RSUs was $1.1 billion as of September 30, 2018 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years. The service condition for RSUs granted prior to February 2018 is generally satisfied over four years, 10% after the first year of service, 20% over the second year, 30% over the third year, and 40% over the fourth year. In limited instances, we have issued Post-2017 RSUs with vesting periods in excess of four years. The service condition for RSUs granted after February 2018 is generally satisfied in equal monthly installments over four years. Additionally, we have 26.6 million and 34.4 million RSUs that are vested but have not yet settled as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These RSUs are primarily related to the CEO award. The following table summarizes the stock option award activity under the Stock Plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2018: Class A Number of Shares Class B Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1) (in thousands, except per share data) Outstanding at December 31, 2017 20,807 11,790 $ 4.10 4.99 $ 343,110 Granted 4,687 — $ 14.00 — $ — Exercised (10,393 ) (8,319 ) $ 2.56 — $ — Forfeited (1,402 ) (171 ) $ 15.21 — $ — Outstanding at September 30, 2018 13,699 3,300 $ 7.73 6.53 $ 60,036 (1) The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock option awards and the closing market price of our Class A common stock as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018, respectively.

Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | 6. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Leases We entered into various non-cancelable lease agreements for certain of our offices with original lease periods expiring between 2018 and 2027. Certain of the arrangements have free rent periods or escalating rent payment provisions. We recognize rent expense under such arrangements on a straight-line basis. Our future minimum lease payments required under these non-cancelable operating lease obligations as of September 30, 2018, are as follows: Operating Leases (in thousands) Remainder of 2018 $ 14,524 2019 60,877 2020 57,331 2021 54,672 2022 46,775 Thereafter 144,732 Total minimum lease payments $ 378,911 Operating lease expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were $15.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, and $46.4 million and $38.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We have and will continue to exit various operating leases prior to the end of the contractual lease term, primarily as a result of moving to a centralized corporate office located in Santa Monica, California. As of September 30, 2018, these leases have a remaining contractual obligation of approximately $69.5 million. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded lease exit charges of $29.3 million and $33.3 million, respectively. The charges, recorded as general and administrative expense, primarily include the present value of our remaining lease obligation on the cease use dates that occurred during the quarter, net of estimated sublease income. Based on current exit plans and management’s assumptions, we have incurred the substantial majority of total lease exit charges expected. We have several lease agreements where we are deemed the owner under build-to-suit lease accounting. The fair value of the leased property and corresponding financing obligations are included in property and equipment, net and other liabilities, respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2018. Our future minimum lease payments required under non-cancelable financing lease obligations, which exclusively relate to our build-to-suit leases, as of September 30, 2018, are as follows: Financing Leases (in thousands) Remainder of 2018 $ 1,187 2019 4,796 2020 4,947 2021 5,092 2022 5,167 Thereafter 20,785 Total minimum lease payments $ 41,974 We recognize an increase in the fair value of the asset as additional building costs are incurred during the construction period and a corresponding increase in the lease financing obligation for any construction costs to be reimbursed by the landlord. As of September 30, 2018, $16.6 million of lease financing obligations are included in other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Contractual Commitments We have non-cancelable contractual agreements related to the hosting of our data storage processing, storage, and other computing services. In January 2017, we entered into the Google Cloud Platform License Agreement, which was amended in September 2017, December 2017, and January 2018. Under the agreement, we were granted a license to access and use certain cloud services. The agreement has an initial term of five years and we are required to purchase at least $400.0 million of cloud services in each year of the agreement. For each of the first four years, up to 15% of this amount may be moved to a subsequent year. If we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitment during any year, we are required to pay the difference. In March 2016, we entered into the AWS Enterprise Agreement for the use of cloud services from Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”) which was amended in March 2016 and February 2017. The agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by either party. Under the February 2017 addendum, we committed to spend $1.0 billion on AWS services between January 2017 and December 2021. That addendum was amended in October 2018, and we are now committed to spend an aggregate of $1.1 billion between January 2017 and December 2022 on AWS services ($90.0 million in 2018, $150.0 million in 2019, $215.0 million in 2020, $280.0 million in 2021, and $349.0 million in 2022). If we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitment during any year, we are required to pay the difference. Any such payment may be applied to future use of AWS services during the addendum term, although it will not count towards meeting the future minimum purchase commitments under the addendum. The future minimum contractual commitments including commitments less than one year, as of September 30, 2018, inclusive of the changes related to the AWS October 2018 addendum, for each of the next five years are as follows: Minimum Commitment (in thousands) Remainder of 2018 $ 117,832 2019 555,167 2020 625,917 2021 686,785 2022 382,333 Thereafter — Total minimum commitments $ 2,368,034 Contingencies We record a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. We also disclose material contingencies when we believe a loss is not probable but reasonably possible. Accounting for contingencies requires us to use judgment related to both the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of the amount or range of loss. Many legal and tax contingencies can take years to be resolved. Pending Matters Beginning in May 2017, we, certain of our officers and directors, and the underwriters for our IPO were named as defendants in securities class actions purportedly brought on behalf of purchasers of our Class A common stock, alleging violation of securities laws in connection with our IPO. Management believes these lawsuits are without merit and intend to vigorously defend them. Based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings in this case, the outcome of this matter remains uncertain. On April 3, 2018, BlackBerry Limited filed a lawsuit against us alleging that we infringe six of its patents. We are currently investigating BlackBerry’s allegations, and management believes we have meritorious defenses. Based on the preliminary nature of the proceedings, the outcome of this matter remains uncertain. In 2017, Vaporstream, Inc. filed a lawsuit against us alleging that we infringe a number of its patents. We filed a motion to dismiss, which the court denied without prejudice to re-file after further factual development. Later in 2017, we filed a motion for summary judgment. On February 27, 2018, the court issued an order denying our motion for summary judgment. On June 13, 2018, the court stayed the lawsuit pending the outcome of several challenges to the validity of the patents, filed by us at the U.S. Patent Office. While management believes we have meritorious defenses to Vaporstream’s claims, the outcome of this matter remains uncertain. The outcomes of our legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for a particular period. For the pending matters described above, it is not possible to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. We are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including certain patent, trademark, privacy, and employment matters. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, we do not believe that the final disposition of any of our other pending matters will seriously harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Indemnifications In the ordinary course of business, we may provide indemnifications of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, investors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification may include losses from our breach of such agreements, services we provide, or third party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnifications may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments may not be subject to a cap. We have not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnifications as of September 30, 2018. We believe the fair value of these liabilities is immaterial and accordingly have no liabilities recorded for these agreements at September 30, 2018. |

Fair Value Measurements | 7. Fair Value Measurements We classify our marketable securities within Level 1 because we use quoted market prices to determine their fair value. The following table sets forth our financial assets as of December 31, 2017 and September 30, 2018 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period: Fair Value December 31, 2017 September 30, 2018 (in thousands) Cash and cash equivalents Cash $ 267,715 $ 325,302 U.S. government securities 25,861 12,473 U.S. government agency securities 40,487 12,623 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 334,063 $ 350,398 Marketable securities U.S. government securities $ 1,350,581 $ 909,005 U.S. government agency securities 358,395 155,004 Total marketable securities $ 1,708,976 $ 1,064,009 The amortized cost of U.S. government securities with maturities less than one year was $909.4 million and $1.4 billion as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The amortized cost of U.S. government agency securities with maturities of less than one year was $155.0 million and $358.6 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 8. Income Taxes Our tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items arising in that quarter. Our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to valuation allowances on our deferred tax assets as it is more likely than not that some or all of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. Income tax expense was $0.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, compared to a tax benefit of $12.3 million and $15.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily from the partial release of a valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets that was not in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018. The valuation allowance release was the result of net deferred tax liabilities originating from acquisitions that were an available source of income to realize a portion of our deferred tax assets. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act introduced the global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions that impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. We recognize the tax on GILTI as an expense in the period the tax is incurred. We have not provided deferred taxes related to temporary differences that on their reversal will affect the amount of income subject to GILTI in the period. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Snap Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on December 31. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC on February 22, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). In our opinion, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. Other than described below, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report that have had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related notes. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Management’s estimates are based on historical information available as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Key estimates relate primarily to determining the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed in business combinations, evaluation of contingencies, uncertain tax positions, excess inventory reserves, lease exit charges, and the fair value of stock-based awards. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates our estimates compared to historical experience and trends, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. |

Purchase commitment, description | In March 2016, we entered into the AWS Enterprise Agreement for the use of cloud services from Amazon Web Services, Inc. (“AWS”) which was amended in March 2016 and February 2017. The agreement will continue indefinitely until terminated by either party. Under the February 2017 addendum, we committed to spend $1.0 billion on AWS services between January 2017 and December 2021. That addendum was amended in October 2018, and we are now committed to spend an aggregate of $1.1 billion between January 2017 and December 2022 on AWS services ($90.0 million in 2018, $150.0 million in 2019, $215.0 million in 2020, $280.0 million in 2021, and $349.0 million in 2022). If we fail to meet the minimum purchase commitment during any year, we are required to pay the difference. Any such payment may be applied to future use of AWS services during the addendum term, although it will not count towards meeting the future minimum purchase commitments under the addendum. | ||||||
