Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies


Litigation


We are not a party to any litigation of a material nature. We recently received a notification from RPost Holdings, Inc. whereby RPost Holdings, Inc. claims that we are infringing on their patent rights with certain of our products and services. Although we remain in the investigative stages of the merit to this claim, we believe that our Company and other companies were practicing the technology that RPost claims its patents cover before the first priority date of RPost's patents. On that basis, we believe that the patents cannot cover our technology and remain valid. To our knowledge, we have not been named in any proceeding with respect to this matter.
