What is the Total Settlement Amount?
Peacock has agreed to establish a settlement fund of $3,742,637.14 to address claims related to the violation of California’s Automatic Renewal Law. This fund will cover payments to eligible class members, administrative expenses, and attorney fees.
Peacock will also enhance its subscription practices for California customers by:
- Clearly displaying automatic renewal terms on checkout pages
- Obtaining affirmative consent for automatic renewals
- Including cancellation instructions in acknowledgment emails
How Do I Qualify for a Payout?
