Adobe Settles DOJ Lawsuit over Deceptive Subscription Practices
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
In January 2019, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Xperience Fitness gym for, among other things, allegedly misrepresenting that the monthly price for Fit Memberships is $21.99 when, according to the plaintiffs, the gym actually charges significantly more each month. (Wesolowski et al v. Vertical Fitness Group, LLC d/b/a Xperience Fitness d/b/a Club 7776, Case No. 19-cv-120, E. WI.)
Software maker will pay a $75 million fine and provide “affected consumers” with free services.
Order puts platforms like Amazon and Walmart on notice.
Advertised “best deal ever” comes with some caveats.
