Contract Assets and Liabilities: We normally do not have contract assets, which are primarily unbilled accounts receivable that are conditional on something other than the passage of time. Our contract liabilities, which represent billings in excess of revenue recognized, are primarily related to advanced billings for maintenance and other services to be performed and were approximately $134 and $116 at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The majority of the balance at June 30, 2019 will be amortized to revenue over approximately the next 30 months.

Contract Costs: Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract primarily include sales commissions paid to sales people and agents in connection with the placement of equipment with associated post sale services arrangements. These costs are deferred and amortized on the straight-line basis over the estimated contract term, which is currently estimated to be approximately four years. We pay commensurate sales commissions upon customer renewals, therefore our amortization period is aligned to our initial contract term. Incremental direct costs are as follows:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract	$	18	$	23	$	36	$	40
Amortization of incremental direct costs	20		23		43		47

The balance of deferred incremental direct costs net of accumulated amortization at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was $165 and $172, respectively. This amount is expected to be amortized over its estimated period of benefit, which we currently estimate to be approximately four years.

We may also incur costs associated with our services arrangements to generate or enhance resources and assets that will be used to satisfy our future performance obligations included in these arrangements. These costs are considered contract fulfillment costs and are amortized over the contractual service period of the arrangement to cost of services. In addition, we also provide inducements to certain customers in various forms, including contractual credits, which are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 amounts deferred associated with contract fulfillment costs and inducements were $12 and $12, respectively. The related amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was $2 and $2, respective and $3 and $3 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
