Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Litigation and Settlements | Litigation and Settlements From time to time we may become subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we are currently involved in the following litigation which is not incidental to its business: Oltean, et al. v. Think Partnership, Inc.; Edmonton, Alberta CA. On March 6, 2008, Kelly Oltean, Mike Baldock and Terry Schultz, former employees, filed a breach of employment claim against Inuvo in The Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Edmonton, Canada, claiming damages for wrongful dismissal in the amount of $200,000 for each of Kelly Oltean and Terry Schultz and $187,500 for Mike Baldock. On March 6, 2008, the same three plaintiffs filed a similar statement of claim against Vintacom Acquisition Company, ULC, a subsidiary of Inuvo, again for wrongful dismissal and claiming the same damages. In October 2009, the two actions were consolidated. The case is in the discovery stage and there has not been any progress in the litigation since April 2013 and Inuvo has been holding this matter in abeyance pending the Plaintiffs taking the next step in the litigation process. Admanage Litigation. In May 2014 Inuvo and its wholly owned subsidiary ValidClick, Inc. filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Faulkner County Arkansas against certain former distribution partners of our Publisher Network, i.e., Admanage S.A., ClickFind Media Corp., Neo Clicks, Inc. and Neoclicks Internet Services Corp., demanding return of an aggregate of approximately $134,000 paid to such distribution partners during time periods when Inuvo and ValidClick allege that the activities of the distribution partners violated the ValidClick terms of service. In July 2014, Admanage S.A., Neoclicks Internet Services and ClickFind Media Corp. filed a suit against Inuvo and ValidClick in United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Western Division, alleging, among other things breach of contract for non payment of approximately $696,000 allegedly earned by the distribution partners. Admanage S.A., Neoclicks Internet Services and ClickFind Media Corp. subsequently removed the Faulkner County Circuit Court lawsuit to United States District Court Eastern District of Arkansas Western Division, and the two cases have now been consolidated into the removed case. Inuvo is vigorously defending the matter.
