Match.com LLP has managed to get an East Coast class-action suit moved to the local area, although the online dating service still must defend itself against allegations in the litigation that it “lumps together profiles of current subscribers and canceled member and displays them as if they are they same,” court documents say.
U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald ruled that the case should be be tried in Dallas rather than New York because of a “forum selection clause” in the user agreement that Match.com members agree to when they sign up for the service. That forum selection clause specified said if a dispute arose, such case would be tried in Dallas or Collin County, court records say.
Originally filed in New York, the litigation alleges that the “vast majority of Match.com members are canceled subscribers, or have never subscribed at all,” court documents say. The suit also charges that if a Match.com subscriber writes to someone on the site, the company won’t inform the subscriber in the event that the person they’re writing can’t read or respond to the e-mail.
Among other things, the suit seeks a court order barring the company from engaging in "deceptive practices," along with unspecified damages.
In a statement issued when the suit was filed, the company said that the lawsuit “is without merit, and we will defend it vigorously. Match.com is the first and one of the largest global online communities for singles looking to start meaningful relationship. We stand behind our product 100%.”
man should ashamed, they lie so easily. I wish they know the truth will come out. I had problem too.
