Verizon Wireless Get It Now Game Class Action Settlement

Verizon Wireless has reached a class action lawsuit settlement regarding its Unlimited Get It Now games. If you are a California resident who purchased an Unlimited Get It Now game for your Verizon Wireless cell phone between 2004 and 2012, you may be able to claim at least $15 cash from the class action settlement.

The Verizon Unlimited Get It Now settlement will resolve a class action lawsuit, entitled Khalilpour v. Cellco Partnership, that alleges Verizon Wireless did not adequately disclose that a subscriber could not transfer Unlimited Get It Now games downloaded onto one handset to a subsequent handset free of charge. Verizon Wireless denies any wrongdoing, but has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to avoid ongoing litigation. 
Class Members of the Verizon Wireless class action lawsuit settlement include all California residents who bought an Unlimited Get It Now game for their Verizon Wireless cell phone and then activated a new phone on the same mobile phone line between January 1, 2004 and June 22, 2012. This includes those who purchased an Unlimited Get It Now game directly on their phones as well as those who bought a game online for their phone.

Here’s what the Verizon Wireless Get It Now game class action settlement provides:

(I) If you timely submit a valid Claim Form certifying that you believed the Unlimited Get It Now game(s) purchased on your phone would be transferable to the subsequent phone, you will receive $15.

 

(II) If you timely submit a valid Claim Form and list the games you repurchased after acquiring a new phone, you will receive the value of the listed games, up to a maximum of $35 (subject to confirmation based on Verizon Wireless’ records).

 

(III) If you timely submit a valid Claim Form and include proofs of purchase for the games you repurchased after acquiring a new phone, you will receive the total value of the repurchased games for which proofs of purchase are provided.

(IV) If you timely submit a valid Claim Form certifying that you had believed the Unlimited Get It Now game(s) you purchased on your initial phone would be transferable to a subsequent phone, and you did not buy the same game(s) for your subsequent phone because you learned you would be charged and did not want to pay the charge for downloading the game(s) onto your subsequent phone, you will receive $15.
