Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of risk are primarily cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in insured depository institutions and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution within the covenant restrictions imposed by the Company’s debt agreements. The Company was named as a defendant in a putative class action filed in April 2017 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, Gennock v. Kirkland’s, Inc. The Complaint alleges that the Company, in violation of federal law, published more than the last five digits of a credit or debit card number on customers’ receipts. The Company denies the material allegations of the complaint. On January 9, 2018, the District Court denied the Company’s motion to dismiss this matter. On January 31, 2018, the Court granted the Company’s motion to stay the proceedings in its case pending the Third Circuit’s decision in Kamal v. J. Crew Group, Inc., No. 17-2345 (3d. Cir.). The J. Crew case presents the exact same standing issues as the Company’s case, but in J. Crew the defendant won its motion to dismiss. The Third Circuit heard oral argument in the J. Crew case on February 9, 2018, and a decision is expected later this spring or summer. The Company continues to believe that the case is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations. The matter is covered by insurance, and the Company does not believe that the case will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows. The Company is also party to other pending legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. Although the outcome of such proceedings and claims cannot be determined with certainty, the Company’s management is of the opinion that it is unlikely that such proceedings and any claims in excess of insurance coverage will have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows.
