Subscriptions to Carbonite, Inc.
In April 2017, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Carbonite, Inc. (a company that sells subscriptions for cloud and data backup protection) for allegedly deceptively marketing its automatic renewal and continuous service offers by failing to clearly disclose the terms of such offers resulting in consumers being charged without their consent. (Johnson et al v. Carbonite, Inc. and Does 1-10, Case No. 17-at-411, E. D. CA.)
