This just blows my fucking mind. Same thing happened with Crunchyroll, apparently I could have been part of a class action lawsuit when it was found out that they were selling users data. But I didnât hear about it, didnât get any letters and didnât see the email. The date came and went. Because I didnât âtake actionâ in time I apparently forfeit my right to my piece of the settlement AND to sue.
HOW THE FUCK IS THAT LEGAL. How can you make the least amount of effort to notify someone after illegally fucking up their life, then when they donât respond (because they didnât see the notification or whatever), say, âwell legally that means theyâre ok with it, and canât do anything in the futureâ
What the fuck
The class actions Iâve been part of have said that if I want to retain the right to sue then I have to opt out of the class action. I donât think itâs possible to be force-opted in, and in that case you should retain the ability to sue.
Iâve only been in 3 or 4 though, so I donât know if thatâs representative of all class actions.
Send their legal team an email telling them youâre going to update the terms unless you hear from them.
Damn I forgot about that Crunchyroll class action. Thanks for reminding me. I got those emails too but I have until the 12th. Itâs only $30 but thatâs like two Five Guys meals soâŚ
Technically a contract can have anything in it that both parties agree to, unless some are all of those provisions are actively illegal. I would agree that assumed agreement should be illegal. You could probably fight this in court, make the argument that this is a material change to the contract what you did not agree to and would not have agreed to had you been aware of it. But that costs money and lawyers and time.
This feels like the weirdo that Muta covered who was sending out legal notices telling people that if they didnât take action, he would consider them to be entered into contracts that he wrote.

It depends, it may not be. TOS are not as ironclad as they appear.
