Commitments and contingencies Commitments and contingencies
Guarantees and indemnifications
Our agreements with our customers generally include certain provisions for indemnifying them against liabilities if our products and services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights or for other specified matters. We have in the past received indemnification requests or notices of their intent to seek indemnification in the future from our customers with respect to specific litigation claims in which our customers have been named as defendants.
We have agreed to indemnify our directors, officers and certain other employees for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while such persons are or were serving at our request in such capacity. We may terminate the indemnification agreements with these persons upon the termination of their services with us, but termination will not affect claims for indemnification related to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. We have a directors and officers insurance policy that limits our potential exposure. We believe that any financial exposure related to these indemnification agreements is not material.
Other contractual commitments
As of June 30, 2020, we had $12.3 million of future minimum non-cancelable financial commitments primarily related to license fees due to certain of our third-party content providers, regardless of usage level. These commitments are primarily due within five years.
Contingencies
From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. When we believe a loss or a cost of indemnification is probable and which we can reasonably estimate, we accrue our estimate of the loss or cost of indemnification in our consolidated financial statements. Where we cannot determine the outcome of these matters, we do not make a provision in our financial statements until the loss or cost of indemnification, if any, is probable and can be reasonably estimated or the outcome becomes known. We expense legal fees related to these matters as they are incurred.
In addition, we have received, and expect to continue to receive, demands for indemnification from our customers, which demands can be very expensive to settle or defend, and we have in the past offered to contribute to settlement amounts and incurred legal fees in connection with certain of these indemnity demands. Furthermore, in response to these demands, we may be required to assume control of and bear all costs associated with the defense of our customers in compliance with our contractual commitments.
In fiscal 2019, we expensed an aggregate of $700,000 relating to settlement agreements with Traxcell Technologies, LLC and AT&T Mobility LLC, which amount was recorded as legal settlement and contingencies expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
In fiscal 2018, we incurred $250,000 related to a settlement agreement with Location Based Services LLC and recorded this amount as legal settlement and contingencies expense in our consolidated statement of operations.
