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 advance billings for maintenance and other services to be performed and were approximately $121 and $132 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The majority of the balance at March 31, 2024 will be amortized to revenue over the next 30 months.
Contract Costs:
We incur the following contract costs as part of our revenue arrangements:
Incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which are primarily sales commissions paid to salespeople and agents in connection with the placement of equipment with associated post sale services arrangements. These costs are deferred and amortized to Selling Expenses on a 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.
Contract fulfillment costs, which are costs incurred for resources and assets that will be used to satisfy our future performance obligations included in our service arrangements. These costs are amortized over the contractual service period of the arrangement to cost of services.
Contract inducements, which are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the contract.
Changes in contract costs, net are as follows:
