Adobe has been hit with a proposed class action on Monday for allegedly tricking consumers into registering for automatically renewed subscription programs, resulting in unexpected recurring charges that are “exceedingly difficult and unnecessarily confusing” to cancel.
The complaint, filed by Gucovschi Rozenshteyn and Bursor & Fisher in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, alleged that the San Jose software company broke California’s Automatic Renewal Law (ARL) by “surreptitiously” enrolling subscribers in annual, billed-monthly auto-renewal schemes when they signed up for its paid membership plans.
