Ferreira v. Groupon, Inc.
Groupon is a web-based company that purports to offer collective buying deals on a wide range of products and services, including restaurants and bars, salons and spas, clothing and other retail items, and dance classes and other instructional lessons. Robbins Geller has filed a class action lawsuit against the company for selling millions of "groupon" gift certificates with illegal expiration terms. Plaintiff alleges that Groupon's use of expiration terms violates the federal Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act ("CARD Act"), 15 U.S.C. §1693 et seq., which specifically prohibits the sale of gift certificates with expiration periods of less than five years. Groupon also violates California's gift certificate statute, Civil Code §1749.5, which prohibits the sale of gift certificates with any expiration period.
