Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Royalty Agreements During 2016, Conversion Labs PR entered into a sole and exclusive license, royalty and advisory agreement with Pilaris Laboratories, LLC (“Pilaris”) relating to Pilaris’ PilarisMax shampoo formulation and conditioner. The term of the agreement will be the life of the US Patent held by Pilaris, ten years. As consideration for granting Conversion Labs PR this license, Pilaris will receive on quarterly basis, 10% of the net income collected by the licensed products based on the following formula: Net Income = total income – cost of goods sold – advertising and operating expenses directly related to the marketing of the licensed products. As of both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, no amount was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in regard to this agreement. During 2018, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Alphabet Agreement”) with M.ALPHABET, LLC (“Alphabet”), pursuant to which Alphabet agreed to license its PURPUREX business which consists of methods and compositions developed by Alphabet for the treatment of purpura, bruising, post-procedural bruising and traumatic bruising (the “Product Line”). Pursuant to the license granted under the Alphabet Agreement, Conversion Labs PR obtains an exclusive license to incorporate (i) any intellectual property rights related to the Product Line and (ii) all designs, drawings, formulas, chemical compositions and specifications used or useable in the Product Line into one or more products manufactured, sold, and/or distributed by Alphabet for the treatment of purpura, bruising, post-procedural bruising and traumatic bruising and for all other fields of use or purposes (the “Licensed Product(s)”), and to make, have made, advertise, promote, market, sell, import, export, use, offer to sell and distribute the Licensed Product(s) throughout the world with the exception of China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Australia (the “License”). The Company shall pay Alphabet a royalty equal to 13% of Gross Receipts (as defined in the Agreement) realized from the sales of Licensed Products. No amounts were earned or owed as of September 30, 2021. Upon execution of the Alphabet Agreement, Alphabet was granted a 10-year stock option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50. Further, if Licensed Products have gross receipts of $7,500,000 in any calendar year, the Company will grant Alphabet an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50; (ii) if Licensed Products have gross receipts of $10,000,000 in any calendar year, the Company will grant Alphabet an additional option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 and (iii) if Licensed Products have gross receipts of $20,000,000 in any calendar year, the Company will grant Alphabet an option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.75. The likelihood of meeting these performance goals for the licensed products are remote and, therefore, the Company has not recognized any compensation. Purchase Commitments Many of the Company’s vendors require product deposits when a purchase order is placed for goods or fulfillment services related to inventory requirements. The Company’s history of product deposits with its inventory vendors creates an implicit purchase commitment equaling the total expected product acceptance cost in excess of the product deposit. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company approximates its implicit purchase commitments to be $3.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Legal Matters In the normal course of business operations, the Company may become involved in various legal matters. As of September 30, 2021, other than as set forth below, the Company’s management does not believe that there are any potentially material pending legal proceedings. On April 16, 2021, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned David L. Owens, Sr. v. LifeMD, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-03384, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, Justin Schreiber (LifeMD’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), Juan Pinero Dagnery (LifeMD’s former Chief Financial Officer), and Marc Benathen (LifeMD’s current Chief Financial Officer) (the “Owens, Sr. Lawsuit”). The Owens, Sr. Complaint alleges, among other things, that the defendants made false or misleading statements about, and allegedly failed to disclose material adverse facts concerning, the Company’s business, operations, and prospects, and asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeMD’s common stock between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021. On May 18, 2021, the class action lawsuit filed against the Company was voluntarily dismissed. Similarly, on May 5, 2021, a second purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Cho v. LifeMD, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-04004, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the same aforementioned parties (the “Cho Lawsuit”). The Cho Complaint makes the same claims as found in the Owens, Sr. Lawsuit, and, similarly, does not quantify damages and seeks to recover damages on behalf of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired LifeMD’s common stock during the same, aforementioned time period between January 19, 2021 and April 13, 2021. On May 19, 2021, the class action lawsuit filed against the Company was voluntarily dismissed. On June 7, 2021, a purported Americans with Disabilities class action lawsuit, captioned Sosa v. LifeMD, Inc. et al., Case No. 21-cv-05032, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Sosa Complaint alleges, inter alia, that the defendants’ www.rexmd.com has barriers making it inaccessible to the visually impaired needing the assistance of screen-reading software, and therefore, allegedly violates: (i) the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12181 et seq.; (ii) the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL), N.Y. Exec. Law §§ 292 and 296; and (iii) the New York City Human Rights Law (NYCHRL), §§ 8-102 and 8-107. The Complaint does not quantify damages but seeks to recover compensatory damages, civil penalties, and attorneys’ fees and costs under the NYSHRL and NYCHRL, as well as punitive damages under the NYCHRL. The Complaint also seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. On September 20, 2021, the class action lawsuit filed against the Company was voluntarily dismissed.
