Purchase Commitments—In the normal course of business, the Company makes commitments with its third-party hardware contract manufacturers to manufacture its inventories and non-standard components based on its forecasts. These commitments consist of obligations for on-hand inventories and non-cancellable purchase orders for non-standard components. The Company records a charge for firm, non-cancellable and unconditional purchase commitments with its third-party hardware contract manufacturers for non-standard components when and if quantities exceed its future demand forecasts through a charge to cost of product sales. As of January 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $20.7 million of non-cancellable purchase commitments pertaining to its normal operations, and approximately $18.6 million of other purchase obligations with its contract manufacturers.
Guarantees— The Company has entered into agreements with some of its Partners and customers that contain indemnification provisions in the event of claims alleging that the Company’s products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. The scope of such indemnification varies, and may include, in certain cases, the ability to cure the indemnification by modifying or replacing the product at the Company’s own expense, requiring the return and refund of the infringing product, procuring the right for the partner and/or customer to continue to use or distribute the product, as applicable, and/or defending the partner or customer against and paying any damages from third party actions based upon claims of infringement. Other guarantees or indemnification arrangements include guarantees of product and service performance. The fair value of liabilities related to indemnifications and guarantee provisions are not material and have not had any material impact on the consolidated financial statements to date.
Litigation — From time to time, the Company may become involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings relating to claims arising from its operations in the normal course of business. Management is not currently aware of any matters that may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
