Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not currently a party to or aware of any proceedings that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on it's business, financial condition or results of operations.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and provide for general indemnification. Its exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future. To the extent permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and officers for certain events or occurrences while the director or officer is, or was serving, at a request in such capacity. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company did not have any material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably possible and consequently has not recorded related liabilities.
