Product Warranty and Indemnification Obligations
We provide services and software solutions to our customers under sales contracts, which usually include a limited warranty regarding product and service performance and a limited indemnification of customers against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against them if our services or software are found to infringe upon a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of a third party. The contracts generally limit the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects. We also enter into similar limited indemnification terms in agreements with certain strategic business partners and vendors. To date, we have experienced minimal warranty claims and have not had significant reimbursements to any customers for any losses related to the limited indemnification described above.
Legal Matters
From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Any such proceedings, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, costly, and result in the diversion of significant operational resources or management time.
Although the outcomes of legal proceedings are inherently difficult to predict, we are not currently involved in any legal proceeding in which the outcome, in our judgment based on information currently available, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial position.
