•Returns - Sales of the Company's products are not subject to a general right of return. A product that has been used to fill patient prescriptions is no longer subject to any right of return. However, the Company will accept a return of product that is damaged or defective when shipped from its third party fulfillment centers. The Company will also accept a return of expired product six months prior to and up to twelve months subsequent to the product's expiry date for certain products. Expired or defective returned product cannot be re-sold and is therefore destroyed. The Company records an estimated liability for product returns at the time the customer takes title to the product (i.e., at time of sale). The liability is reflected as a reduction to gross product sales, and an increase in Accrued product returns and rebates. This liability is recorded as a component of current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the liability for returns primarily based on the actual returns experience for its commercial products. Because the Company's products have a shelf life up to forty-eight months from the date of manufacture, and because the Company accepts return of product up to twelve months post its expiry date, there is a time lag of several years between the time when the product is sold and the time when the Company may issue credit on the expired product. •Sales discounts - Distributors and wholesalers of the Company's pharmaceutical products are generally offered various forms of consideration, including allowances, service fees and prompt payment discounts, for distributing our products. Distributor and wholesaler allowances and service fees arise from contractual agreements and are estimated as a percentage of the price at which the Company sells product to them. In addition, distributors and wholesalers are offered a prompt pay discount for payment within a specified period. Prompt pay discounts are estimated as a percentage of the price at which the Company sells product. The Company accounts for these discounts at the time of sale as a reduction to gross product sales and accounts receivable, net. Royalty, Licensing, and Other RevenuesRoyalty revenues include cash royalty amounts received from third parties pursuant to settlement agreements and agreements with collaboration partners for the right to use the Company's intellectual property as a functional license. These agreements may include sales-based royalties on the licensed intellectual property to which the royalties relate and milestone payments based on
