14. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On February 22, 2017, we were served with a summons and complaint with respect to a breach of contract action filed in Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County, by Statewide Beverage Company, Inc. (“Statewide”), a former distributor of the Company’s products, whose distribution agreement, the Company had terminated effective November 2016 for “cause” (non-payment of invoices within the applicable grace period provided in the distribution agreement). The complaint alleges that the distribution agreement was terminated without “cause” and seeks unspecified damages consisting of termination payments and fees which would be due upon a termination without “cause,” but not on a termination for “cause” as well as certain invasion fees allegedly due under the terms of the distribution agreement. The Company believes that it validly terminated the agreement for “cause” and will vigorously defend against the action. The Company accrued $85,000 in expense as of December 31, 2016 associated with this complaint based on an estimate of legal fees, since the agreement was terminated in November of 2016. The action filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County is on going as of December 31, 2017. In addition to the foregoing, from time to time, we may become party to litigation or other legal proceedings that we consider to be a part of the ordinary course of our business. The Company has entered into distribution agreements with liquidated damages in case the Company cancels the distribution agreements without cause. Cause has been defined in various ways. It is management’s belief that no such agreement has created any liability as of December 31, 2017. The Company entered into an office lease with a related party (see note 10) effective October 2015. The monthly rent amounts to $8,809 per month and the lease terminates in October 2020. Future annual minimum payments required under operating lease obligations at December 31, 2017 are as follows: Future Minimum Lease Payments
