Lease commitments
 
Headquarters office lease. On June 7, 2012, we entered into a sublease and master landlord consent agreement for our headquarters office facility, covering approximately 21,620 square feet and located in Redwood City, California.  This original lease, which was scheduled to expire on February 18, 2017, has been extended with another lessor through April 30, 2017.  The original lease provides for escalating payments over the term and rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis.
 
Other facility leases. We lease our facilities under non-cancelable operating lease agreements, which expire at various dates through August 2021.
 
Total facility rent expense pursuant to all operating lease agreements was $620,000, $548,000, and $550,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.
 
As of December 31, 2016, minimum payments due under all non-cancelable lease agreements were as follows (in thousands):

Legal contingencies

On October 11, 2016 the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) notified the Company that it would be conducting an audit of the Company relating to compliance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  The DOL has indicated that the focus of the audit is directed to compliance with overtime requirements related to our technology specialists who work from home providing technical support services.  The audit commenced on October 20, 2016 and is ongoing as of the date of this report.  While a loss may be reasonably possible, an estimate of loss, if any, cannot reasonably be determined as of the date of this report. On January 24, 2017 the DOL notified the Company that it would be conducting an audit of the Company relating to compliance with the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.  As of the date of this report the audit has not yet commenced.

On December 20, 2016 the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued a Civil Investigative Demand to the Company requiring the Company to produce certain documents and materials and to answer certain interrogatories relating to PC Healthcheck, a software program provided by the Company to certain third parties.  The FTC has not alleged a factual basis underlying the investigation. On January 17, 2017 the Consumer Protection Division of the Office of Attorney General, State of Washington (“Washington AG”), issued a Civil Investigative Demand to the Company requiring the Company to produce certain documents and materials and to answer certain interrogatories relating to PC Healthcheck.  The Washington AG has not alleged a factual basis underlying the investigation. The Company is in the process of responding to both Civil Investigative Demands.

We are also subject to other routine legal proceedings, as well as demands, claims and threatened litigation, that arise in the normal course of our business, potentially including assertions that we may be infringing patents or other intellectual property rights of others. We currently do not believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (alone or combined) will materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, however, any unfavorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on our financial condition and operating results. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors.
 
Guarantees
 
We have identified guarantees in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. This guidance stipulates that an entity must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligation it assumes under the guarantee at the time it issues such a guarantee, and must disclose that information in its interim and annual financial statements. We have entered into various service level agreements with our partners, in which we may guarantee the maintenance of certain service level thresholds. Under some circumstances, if we do not meet these thresholds, we may be liable for certain financial costs. We evaluate costs for such guarantees under the provisions of ASC 450. We consider such factors as the degree of probability that we would be required to satisfy the liability associated with the guarantee and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the resulting cost. We incurred zero costs as a result of such obligations during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We have not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
