Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block] | (6) Commitments and Contingencies Litigation On November 21, 2023, a Skillsoft stockholder (Jonathon Norcross) filed a derivative lawsuit in the Delaware Court of Chancery captioned In re Skillsoft Corp. Stockholders Litigation, C.A. No. 2023-1179-JTL (Del. Ch.), challenging Skillsoft’s acquisition of Codecademy in April 2022. The plaintiff claimed that certain Skillsoft directors, together with our stockholder MIH Learning B.V., breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the merger. On February 7, 2025, the Court dismissed all claims against all defendants. On February 14, 2025, the plaintiff filed a motion for reargument of the Court’s decision, which the defendants opposed on February 21, 2025. On March 27, 2025, the Court denied the plaintiff's motion for reargument. The plaintiff did not appeal the Court's dismissal of the action and the matter concluded without any liability for Skillsoft. In addition, Skillsoft is, from time to time, party to general legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of business including those relating to commercial and contractual disputes, employment matters, intellectual property, and other business matters. When appropriate, management consults with legal counsel and other appropriate experts to assess claims. If, in management’s opinion, we have incurred a probable loss as determined in accordance with GAAP, an estimate is made of the loss, and the appropriate accrual is reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Currently, there are no material amounts accrued. While it is not possible to quantify the financial impact or predict the outcome of these pending claims and litigation, management does not anticipate that the outcome of any such current proceedings or known claims, either individually or in aggregate, will materially affect Skillsoft’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There are no material proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of Skillsoft, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of our common stock, or any associate of any of the foregoing is a party adverse to Skillsoft or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to Skillsoft or any of its subsidiaries. Warranties and Indemnities Skillsoft’s software license arrangements and hosting services are typically warranted to perform in a manner consistent with general industry standards that are reasonably applicable and substantially in accordance with our product documentation under normal use and circumstances. Our arrangements also include certain provisions for indemnifying customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe a third party’s intellectual property rights. We have entered into service level agreements with some of its hosted application customers warranting certain levels of uptime reliability and such agreements permit those customers to receive credits against monthly hosting fees or terminate their agreements in the event that Skillsoft fails to meet those levels for an agreed upon period of time. To date, Skillsoft has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications or commitments and has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
