The complaint, filed by Gucovschi Rozenshteyn and Bursor & Fisher in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleged that the San Jose software company broke California’s Automatic Renewal Law (ARL) by “surreptitiously” enrolling subscribers in annual, billed-monthly auto-renewal schemes when they signed up for its paid membership plans.
Plaintiffs are seeking damages, restitution, declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and reasonable attorney fees and costs, according to the court papers.
The plaintiffs’ attorneys said class members are entitled to restitution under the ARL, which dictates that any products provided by a business that fails to clearly disclose its automatic renewal offer terms and cancellation policies or obtain “affirmative consent” from subscribers should be treated as “unconditional gifts.”
