7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

The Company leases office space and certain equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements with terms expiring through 2020. Rent expense related to operating these leases is recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the entire lease term. The Company is required to pay property taxes, insurance and normal maintenance costs.

 

As a result of moving its corporate headquarters to Portland, Oregon, the Company vacated its former premises in Irvine, California during the second fiscal quarter and subleased the facility for the remainder of the lease term.  As a result, the Company recorded a lease loss during the second quarter totaling $109,000 reflecting the difference between ongoing committed operating lease costs for the facility and sublease income expected to be received over the life of the lease.  In addition, the Company accelerated depreciation on property and equipment totaling $125,000 located in the Irvine office upon vacating the premises.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is subject from time to time to litigation, claims and suits arising in the ordinary course of business. On July 2, 2015, the Company was sued for patent infringement by Monster Patents, LLC (“Monster”) in the United States District Court Southern District of New York. The complaint alleges that the Company’s Postano products infringe a single patent owned by Monster. The Company is evaluating the claims brought by Monster and it is not possible to predict the outcome of this litigation.

 

Indemnification

 

The Company’s standard customer license and software agreements contain indemnification and warranty provisions which are generally consistent with practice in the Company’s industry. The duration of the Company’s service warranties generally does not exceed 30 days following completion of its services. The Company has not incurred significant obligations under customer indemnification or warranty provisions historically and does not expect to incur significant obligations in the future. Accordingly, the Company does not maintain accruals for potential customer indemnification or warranty-related obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that the Company could be required to make is generally limited under the indemnification provisions in its customer license and service agreements. The Company has entered into a standard form of indemnification agreement with each of its directors and executives.
