Commitments and Contingencies | 11. Commitments and contingencies (a) Capital commitment The Company incurred data costs of $2,542 and $2,434 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, under certain data licensing agreements. As of March 31, 2025, material capital commitments under certain data licensing agreements were $11,533, shown as follows:
In April 2025, the Company entered into a five-year, non-cancellable cloud services agreement with a third-party provider. The agreement includes a minimum annual purchase commitment of $3.0 million, beginning May 1, 2025. Costs incurred under this agreement are either (i) expensed as infrastructure fees and included in cost of revenue (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) when used in the delivery of our services to customers, or (ii) capitalized as internal-use software costs within intangible assets when consumed in the development or enhancement of the Company’s internal-use software.
(b) Contingencies Other than as described below, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceeding, investigation or claim which, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal fees associated with such legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. The Company reviews legal proceedings and claims on an ongoing basis and follow appropriate accounting guidance, including ASC 450, when making accrual and disclosure decisions. The Company establishes accruals for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and can be reasonably estimated, and it discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued, if such disclosure is necessary for its financial statements to not be misleading. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable, but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. On February 7, 2024, the Company was named as a defendant by Atlas Data Privacy Corporation (“Atlas”), Jane Doe-1, Jane Doe-2, Edwin Maldonado, Scott Maloney, Justyna Maloney, Patrick Colligan, and William Sullivan in an action filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County (the “Action”). Each plaintiff, other than Atlas, alleges that they are a covered person under a New Jersey state statute known as “Daniel’s Law”; Atlas alleges it is the assignee of claims from covered persons who allege Daniel’s Law was violated as to them. Each plaintiff, on their own behalf, and Atlas, on behalf of the alleged assignors, alleges the Company failed to comply with Daniel’s Law by not suppressing their home address and unpublished telephone number within 10 business days of receiving a suppression request. The Company is one of over 150 companies sued by Atlas and a combination of individual plaintiffs in actions containing nearly identical allegations and seeking similar damages. The Company removed the matter to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, but the matter was remanded back to the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County by order dated November 21, 2024, where the Action is pending. No trial date has been scheduled. Each plaintiff and Atlas seek to recover actual damages that are not less than liquidated damages under Daniel’s Law, punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, attorneys’ fees and costs and injunctive relief. The Company is vigorously defending itself in the Action. Should the case be tried, an adverse ruling could have an immediate near-term impact on the Company's business, financial position, and/or operations. The Company has notified its insurer of the Action and has confirmed that the claim falls within the scope of its insurance coverage. As such, the Company anticipates that the insurer will cover defense costs and any potential liability, subject to policy limits and customary exclusions. In addition to the foregoing, the Company may be involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such matters will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the results of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty and the Company cannot assure you that the ultimate resolution of any legal or administrative proceeding or dispute will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |
