A well known genealogy site when they first set up their web site
as part of there promotion stated a free trial and the possibility to cancel free trial after 1 month or be billed for 1 year ,did not in fact have a existing web structure for people to do so and cancel before they were continually billed. Some people spotted this action and together with a law firm decided to file a suit that would be loosely referenced to this incident . This loose reference enabled a suit to, if people wanted ,include them into this group suit.The iniciating plaintifs had access to records of former customers who also were effected by this incident, this alone I think is dodgy-Data protection. Anyway a group sum settlement was settled and was interpretated by agreement of both defendant and principle plaintif agreeing group to be an amount in the region of $250,000.this would after all named group plantifs agreed to settle ment in kind of 1 months free subscription to web site. What should I do?
