10.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal

 

Lawsuits, claims and proceedings of a nature considered normal to its businesses may be pending from time to time against the Company. The Company believes the outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, accruals recorded for such potential contingencies were immaterial to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Letters of Credit and Guarantees

 

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had bank guarantees of $137.1 million and $150.3 million, respectively, for customer advances. These arrangements guarantee the refund of advance payments received from customers in the event that the merchandise is not delivered or warranty obligations are not fulfilled in compliance with the terms of the contract. These guarantees affect the availability of the Company’s lines of credit.
