Match.com Subscriptions

In April 2015, plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed a class-action lawsuit they filed against Match.com. The complaint, which was filed earlier that same month, alleged that the company deceptively marketed its online dating service without adequately informing consumers of certain information, including that consumers have the right to cancel their contact. The lawsuit was dismissed without prejudice, meaning that the plaintiffs can refile their claims. (Graf et al v. Match.com, L.L.C., Case No. 15-cv-2913, C. D. CA.)
