Background
The class action, Dutcher et al. v. Google LLC d/b/a YouTube, filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, alleged that YouTube and Google failed to follow all disclosure requirements of California's automatic renewal law as applied to sales of automatically-renewing YouTube TV subscriptions. YouTube and Google deny all allegations but agreed to create a $7,500,000 non-reversionary fund to resolve the claims. Class members who submit a timely claim form will receive a pro rata share of the net settlement fund, likely about $92.26, in the form of a check or electronic payment. The court-authorized settlement website is youtubetvsettlement.com, and payments will be made only if the court grants final approval to the settlement.
