Gelasio v Educative, Inc.

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
COUNTY OF SAN MATEO
Case No. 25-CIV-02720

IF YOU WERE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT WHO ENROLLED IN AND WAS AUTOMATICALLY BILLED FOR AN EDUCATIVE SUBSCRIPTION AT ANY TIME BETWEEN NOVEMBER 16, 2019, AND NOVEMBER 14, 2023, YOU MAY BENEFIT FROM A PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

A State court authorized the Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

• A Proposed Settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Defendant Educative, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Educative”). The class action lawsuit alleges that Educative automatically renewed its customers’ annual and monthly digital subscription offerings (the “Educative Subscriptions”) and charged customers’ payment methods without providing the disclosures and authorizations required by California law. Educative denies these claims. The Court has not ruled in favor of Plaintiff or Educative. Instead, the Parties agreed to a Proposed Settlement to avoid the expense and risks of continuing the lawsuit.

• The Class is defined as all Persons who, from November 16, 2019, to and through November 14, 2023, enrolled in an automatically renewing Educative Subscription using a California billing address and who, during that time period, were charged and paid one or more automatic renewal fee(s) in connection with such subscription and did not receive a full refund for their subscription.

• Those included in the Settlement will be entitled to receive a pro rata (meaning proportional) cash payment from the Settlement Fund, which Class Counsel estimates to be $23.86 for annual and quarterly subscribers and $11.93 for monthly subscribers.

• Class Members wishing to receive cash do not need to take any affirmative action. You will be bound by the terms of the Settlement Agreement.

• Read the Notice carefully. Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act.

    YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS SETTLEMENT    
  DO NOTHINGYou will receive a cash payment and will be bound by the terms of the Settlement Agreement.  
EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM THE CLASS BY February 13, 2026You will receive no benefits, but you will retain any rights you currently have to sue Educative about the alleged claims in this case. Excluding yourself is the only option that allows you to ever bring or maintain your own lawsuit against Educative regarding the allegations in this case ever again.
OBJECT BY
February 13, 2026  		Write to the Court explaining why you don’t like the Settlement and think it shouldn’t be approved. Filing an objection does not exclude you from the Settlement.

These rights and options-and the deadlines to exercise them-are explained in the Notice.

The Court in charge of this action has preliminarily approved the Settlement as fair, reasonable, and adequate, 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.
