9
.  Litigation and Contingencies
 
From time to time the Company is subject to certain routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of its business. The Company believes that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type
 (either alone or combined) will
not
materially affect its financial position, results of operations or liquidity. 
 
In
November 2015,
the Company settled outstanding litigation based upon claims the Company alleged against some of its former employees and a competitor relating to the Company
’s intellectual property. In
April 2016,
such competitor paid the Company the remaining settlement amount of
$0.6
million, which is reflected in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the
six
months ended
September 30, 2016.

The Company generally agrees to indemnify its customers against legal claims that the Company
’s software infringes certain
third
-party intellectual property rights. In the event of such a claim, the Company is obligated to defend its customer against the claim and to either settle the claim at the Company’s expense or pay damages that the customer is legally required to pay to the
third
-party claimant. In addition, in the event of the infringement, the Company agrees to modify or replace the infringing product, or, if those options are
not
reasonably possible, to refund the purchase price of the software. To date, the Company has
not
been required to make any payment resulting from infringement claims asserted against its customers. As such, the Company has
not
provided for an indemnification accrual as of
September 30, 2017
or
March 31, 2017.
