12.Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, in the normal course of business, we may become a party to legal proceedings that may have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flow.  At September 30, 2013, we were not a party to any material pending legal proceedings and were not aware of any claims that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We have operating leases for office and distribution center space and equipment for varying periods. We also lease some of our vehicles in the United Kingdom under capital leases.  Certain leases have renewal options and require contingent payments for increases, including executory costs, property taxes, insurance and certain other costs in excess of a base year amount. Total rent expense for the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were $6,301,  $5,382 and $4,259, respectively.

The aggregate future noncancelable minimum rental payments on operating leases and capital leases at September 30, 2013 are as follows:
