Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | 16. Contingencies On August 30, 2017, Namecheap, Inc. (“Namecheap”) filed a complaint against the Company, eNom, Inc., and unknown John Does in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington alleging breach of contract, breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing, and unjust enrichment (the “Namecheap Federal Action”). On September 6, 2018, Tucows and Namecheap entered into a settlement agreement, pursuant to which the matter was amicably resolved, and the case dismissed, and Namecheap has provided Tucows an administrative fee for services in connection with transferring its domain names off Tucows’ platform. The Company has other legal claims and lawsuits in connection with its ordinary business operations. The Company intends to vigorously defend these claims. While the final outcome with respect to any actions or claims outstanding or pending as of September 30, 2018 cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe that the resolution of these claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.
