Your Legal Rights and Options in this Settlement | Deadline | ||
Submit a Claim Form | If you received direct Notice of this Settlement via email or otherwise and paid for a membership and/or day pass to Vertical Hold between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2020 (the “Class Period”), you will receive a Class Member Payment after completion of a Claim Form. | September 3, 2026 | |
Exclude Yourself | If you exclude yourself from the Settlement, you will not receive a Class Member Payment under the Settlement. Excluding yourself is the only option that allows you to bring or maintain your own lawsuit against Defendants for the allegations in the Action ever again. | September 3, 2026 | |
Object | You may file a written objection telling the Court why you object to (i.e., don’t like) the Settlement and think it shouldn’t be approved. Submitting an objection does not exclude you from the Settlement. | September 3, 2026 | |
Go to the “Fairness Hearing” on July 31, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. | The Court will hold a “Fairness Hearing” to consider the Settlement, the request for attorneys’ fees and costs of the lawyers who brought the Action, and the Named Plaintiffs’ request for a service fee award for bringing the Action. You may, but are not required to, speak at the Fairness Hearing about any objection you filed to the Settlement. If you intend to speak at the Fairness Hearing, you must also submit a “Notice of Intention to Appear” indicating your intent to do so. | ||
These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are explained in the Notice and FAQs.
The Court in charge of this Action has preliminarily approved the Settlement and must decide whether to give final approval to the Settlement. The relief provided to Class Members will be provided only if the Court gives final approval to the Settlement and, if there are any appeals, after the appeals are resolved in favor of the Settlement. Please be patient.
