Chicago, Il: A settlement has been reached with Club Texting Inc, in a class action lawsuit relating to the alleged transmission of unsolicited text messages to Illinois cell phones users. As part of its business, Club Texting provides a text messaging platform that businesses, social groups, and governments use to contact their clients, members, and constituents. The settlement concerns allegations that a night club promoter called "Fly Society" improperly failed to gain express consent of consumers prior to using the Club Texting platform to send text messages advertising various night club events throughout Chicagoland.
The settlement, which was preliminarily approved by a Chicago federal court on January 22, 2010, provides that those who received such messages without their consent to submit a claim for a $67.50 settlement payment. Club Texting, Inc. has also agreed to require that future users of its text messaging transmission platform both view and consent to obtaining the prior express consent of each person to whom a text message is sent.
