If you are subscribed or were subscribed to NYT digital, print, and/or ancillary, used a North Carolina billing and delivery zip code, and were directly billed and automatically renewed by NYT from June 21, 2018, to and through June 2, 2023, you may be eligible to receive a pro rata cash payment.
A Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit called Perkins v. The New York Times Company, Case No. l:22-cv-05202-PKC (S.D.N.Y.). The Defendant in the lawsuit is The New York Times Company. The lawsuit asserts claims that Defendant enrolled Plaintiff and other Class Members in automatic renewal newspaper subscriptions without providing or formatting certain disclosures as required under a North Carolina statute, N.C.G.S. § 75-41 (the “ARS”). NYT denies it is or can be held liable for the claims made in the lawsuit. The Settlement does not establish who is correct, but rather is a compromise to end the lawsuit.
