A settlement (“Settlement”) has been proposed in a class action lawsuit pending in the Northern District of California (“Court”) entitled Ye, et al. v. Sephora USA, Inc. (the “Action”). The Action was filed against Sephora alleging it discriminatorily deactivated from its website thousands of customers in the U.S. whose customer accounts had email addresses with China-based service providers: @qq.com, @126.com and @163.com.
The Action alleges that Sephora prevented these users from participating in the annual 20% discount sale available to VIB and VIB Rouge customers scheduled to begin on November 6, 2014 (the “VIB Sale”). Sephora denies wrongdoing and liability, and no court or other entity has made any judgment or other determination of any liability.
You are a “Class Member” if as of November 4, 2014, you (i) had an active VIB or VIB Rouge account as of November 4, 2014 that was associated with an email address from @qq.com, @126.com or @163.com, (ii) had your account deactivated on or about November 6, 2014, and (iii) attempted to but were unable to make a purchase at ww.sephora.com using their “Beauty Insider” account(s) at some point in November 2014.
