COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Royalty Agreements
The Company holds certain rights to market and manufacture products developed or created under certain research, development, and licensing agreements with various entities. In connection with such agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the entities royalties on net product sales. In each of the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, royalties of $0.1 million became payable under these agreements. In each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, royalties of $0.2 million became payable under these agreements.
Warranties

The Company's current terms and conditions of sale include a limited warranty that its products and services will conform to published specifications at the time of shipment and a more extensive warranty related to certain products. The Company also sells a renewal warranty for certain of its products. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to correct or replace any defective product, and if not possible or practical, the Company will accept the return of the defective product and refund the amount paid. Historically, the Company has incurred minimal warranty costs. The Company's warranty reserve was $0.2 million at both June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

On October 10, 2018, we reached an agreement in principle to settle the complaint that was filed against the Company by Shaun Fauley on March 12, 2015 in the U.S. District Court Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") alleging our transmittal of unauthorized faxes in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, as a class action (the "Fauley Complaint"). The settlement, which received the Court's approval on February 28, 2019 and was not subsequently appealed by a class member, required us to make available a total of $6.8 million to pay class members, as well as to pay attorneys' fees and expenses to legal counsel to the class. The Company recorded the loss provision in the third quarter of 2018 in connection with the settlement agreement and does not have insurance coverage for the Fauley Complaint. The payment in respect of the settlement was made in full on April 3, 2019, and all activity related to the Fauley Complaint has ceased.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company was not a party to any other legal proceedings that were expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or operating results.
