Note 10. Legal Proceedings
 
The Company was involved in a lawsuit with a customer that alleged it did not warn or stop the processing of $181,709 in fraudulent credit transactions from occurring.  The Company believes that the customer breached the Company’s processing agreement and that a security breach occurred because of the customer’s lack of controls over the login and password information utilized by the customer to process transactions resulting in the customer becoming a victim of a malware attack.  The agreement between the customer and the Company has a limitation of liability provision that allows for the maximum liability of the Company to not exceed the amount of fees of a single month of service.  On April 29, 2015, Brightmoore Church filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, which the Court accepted on April 30, 2015, and dismissed the lawsuit without prejudice. On November 3, 2015, the Company filed a lawsuit against Brightmoore Church  in the District Court for the judicial district of Bexar County, Texas, alleging a breach of contract by Brightmoore Church resulting in the fraudulent credit transactions described before and demanding payment of damages. On March 24, 2016, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Brightmoore Church and on March 28, 2016, the Company filed to dismiss the lawsuit for no consideration. The case was dismissed by Brightmoore Church on April 4, 2016.
 
On March 1, 2016, the Company was granted a temporary restraining order against Shelby Systems, Inc. by the District Court for the judicial district of Bexar County, Texas to prevent Shelby Systems from, among others, publishing false information about the Company and interfering with the Company’s customers after the termination of the Company’s referral agreement with Shelby Systems. On July 5, 2016, the Company agreed to dismiss the lawsuit with no further fees due Shelby Systems which netted the Company $97,493 in income.
 
On June 26, 2015, Michael McFarland, derivatively on behalf the Company, and individually on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated shareholders of the Company, filed a class-action lawsuit in United States District Court, District of Nevada. The suit alleges breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment by the Company’s Board of Directors and certain executive officers and directors in connection with excessive and unfair compensation paid or awarded during fiscal years 2013 and 2014. The lawsuit seeks disgorgement of excessive compensation as well as damages in an unspecified amount. As of March 17, 2016 the Court signed an order dismissing the claims against Peter Kirby and Michael Long, but did not rule as to the other defendants. On March 22, 2016 the Company filed an unopposed motion for final judgment as to everyone else and confirmed again with the Plaintiff that they do not oppose dismissal of the whole case. On April 5, 2016, the case was dismissed without prejudice.
 
On April 26, 2016, Michael McFarland, derivatively on behalf the Company, re- filed the same class-action lawsuit in United States District Court, District of Nevada.
 
The Company believes the claims are without merit and it is unlikely that a loss will be incurred, therefore the Company has not accrued for a potential loss. However, the outcomes of the disputes are still uncertain and it is possible the Company may incur legal fees and losses in the future.
 
Aside from the lawsuits described above, the Company may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time. While the Company believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could become involved in litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.
