Indemnity Agreements

Under agreements with customers, licensors and parties from whom we have acquired assets or entered into business combinations, we indemnify these parties against liability associated with our products. Additionally, we are party to a number of agreements under leases where we indemnify the lessor for liabilities attributable to our actions or conduct. The indemnity agreements to which we are a party do not, in general, increase our liability for claims related to our products or actions and have not materially affected our consolidated financial statements.

Legal Matters

In May 2018, we settled a patent infringement dispute related to two forehead thermometer models sold by our subsidiary, Kaz USA, Inc., in the U.S. and made a settlement payment of $15.0 million, which was accrued in prior periods along with related legal fees and other costs.
We are involved in various other legal claims and proceedings in the normal course of operations. We believe the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Commitments

We sell certain of our products under trademarks licensed from third parties. Some of these trademark license agreements require us to pay minimum royalties. As of February 28, 2021, we estimate future minimum annual royalty payments over the noncancelable term of these arrangements to be approximately $6.4 million, $6.2 million, $6.2 million, $5.6 million, and $2.9 million per year, during the next five fiscal years.
