Los Angeles, CA: OfficeMax has reached in a preliminary settlement of a pending class action lawsuit that alleges the office supply company requested and recorded customers' ZIP codes while processing credit card transactions at its California stores, in violation of the Song-Beverly Act.
If approved, the settlement would end the lawsuit entitled Dardarian v. OfficeMax North America Inc., Case No. 4:11-cv-00947-YGR, in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, and provide eligible class members with merchandise vouchers valued at approximately $10 each. Eligible class members would include all persons who used a consumer credit card to make a purchase at an OfficeMax retail store located in California between March 1, 2010 and Feb. 22, 2011, and whose personal ZIP code was requested and recorded in conjunction with the consumer credit card transaction. Additionally, OfficeMax has agreed to provide 120,000 merchandise vouchers worth $5 to customers who make purchases in California OfficeMax retail stores.
Customers ineligible as class members include persons from whom OfficeMax requested and recorded a ZIP code for a special purpose incidental, but related to, the credit card transaction, such as for shipping, servicing, special orders, installation, customer loyalty program applications and OfficeMax-branded credit card applications.
