JAMIE ZUCCARO, ET AL. V. HOT TOPIC, INC.

Case No. 3:23-cv-1242

If you made one or more purchases from Hottopic.com while residing in California
or Oregon during the time periods listed below, you may be entitled to
compensation from a class action settlement.

 

A federal court authorized this Settlement Website. This is not a solicitation
from a lawyer.

 * The Settlement resolves an Action alleging that Defendant deceptively
   advertised various discounts of its products on its website,
   www.Hottopic.com. Defendant denies that any of its advertising is deceptive.
 * The two sides disagree on whether Plaintiffs and the Settlement Class could
   have prevailed at trial. By entering into the Settlement, Defendant has not
   conceded the truth or validity of any of the claims against it and denies any
   liability or wrongdoing.
 * Subject to the Court’s approval of this Settlement, Defendant has agreed to
   pay settlement benefits, and other expenses, as described below, to fully
   resolve and release the claims of all consumers who purchased one or more
   products from www.Hottopic.com, and whose purchases were: (1) made while a
   resident of the state of California from March 15, 2019, to July 29, 2024, or
   (2) made while a resident of the state of Oregon from August 25, 2022, to
   July 29, 2024.
 * Under the terms of the Settlement, each of approximately 1 million Settlement
   Class Members will receive a $10 settlement benefit in either (a) cash, paid
   by check or electronic payment (“Cash Benefit”); or (b) store credit that can
   be applied towards any purchase made on www.Hottopic.com (“Credit Benefit”).
   More information about the Cash Benefits and the Credit Benefits is set forth
   below. In addition to these benefits, Defendant has also agreed to pay notice
   and administration costs, incentive awards of up to $2,500 to each of the
   Class Representatives, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of up to
   $2 million, subject to approval by the Court. Payment of these costs and fees
   will not reduce the value of the Cash and Credit Benefits that Settlement
   Class Members will receive.
 * To be eligible to receive the Cash Benefit, Settlement Class Members must
   submit a valid Claim Form accompanied by Proof of Purchase evidencing that
   they made a purchase from www.Hottopic.com during the relevant period that
   was subject to an advertised percentage-off discount (e.g. "20% OFF," "20%
   Off Sitewide") that applied sitewide. You can tell if you had this type of
   discount by looking at your order confirmation emails. They will simply say
   "20% OFF" or "20% Off Sitewide" (or some other percentage off). More
   information about the required Proof of Purchase is included on the FAQ page
   of this Settlement Website. Settlement Class Members who do not choose to
   receive the Cash Benefit by submitting a valid Claim Form accompanied by a
   valid Proof of Purchase shall instead automatically receive the Credit
   Benefit.
 * Your legal rights may be affected whether you act, or don’t act. Read this
   Settlement Website carefully.  

Your Legal Rights and Options in this Settlement:

DO NOTHING

If you do nothing, and the Settlement is finally approved by the Court, you will
receive a $10 credit that can be applied towards any one purchase made on
www.Hottopic.com. More information about the credits is provided below. By doing
nothing, you will give up certain rights to sue Defendant.

UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION

If your email address has changed since you ordered from www.HotTopic.com,
please visit the Contact Us page to update your address. To ensure no issues in
receiving your Credit Benefit, please do so by October 27, 2024.

SUBMIT A CLAIM FORM

If you submit a valid Claim Form and accompanying Proof of Purchase by October
27, 2024, and elect to receive the Cash Benefit, you will receive a $10 cash
payment in the form of a check or electronic payment (so long as the Settlement
is finally approved by the Court). You may submit only one Claim Form.  By
submitting a Claim Form, you will give up certain rights to sue Defendant. 

EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE CASE

This is the only option that allows you to sue Defendant on your own regarding
the legal claims in this case, but you will not receive compensation under the
Settlement. The deadline for excluding yourself is September 27, 2024.

OBJECT TO THE SETTLEMENT

Write to the Court about why you do not like the Settlement. A Settlement Class
Member who objects still remains in the Settlement Class and will receive a
Settlement Benefit (so long as the Settlement is finally approved by the Court).
The deadline for objecting is September 27, 2024.

 * These rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are further
   explained on this Settlement Website, including on the FAQ page.
 * The Court in charge of this case must still decide whether to approve the
   Settlement. Settlement Benefits will be issued if the Court approves the
   Settlement and after appeals are resolved, if any.
