If you are a Tinder user in California who subscribed to Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold between March 2, 2015 and March 1, 2019 and were at least 29 years old at time of purchase, then you may be a member of this class action settlement.

A settlement has been reached in Kim v. Tinder, Inc., et al. Kim claims that Defendants violated the California Unruh Civil Rights Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 51 et seq., and the California Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 et seq., by charging a higher price for subscriptions to Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold to persons who were 29 years of age or older. Kim filed the lawsuit on behalf of a class, seeking damages and restitution.

Defendants deny that there is any legal basis for Kim’s claims or that Kim or any members of the Class have suffered injury or are entitled to monetary or other relief. Defendants also deny that this case can be certified as a class action, except for purposes of settlement.

The parties and their counsel determined that a settlement is preferable to incurring the risk and cost of further litigation. The Court has not determined whether Kim or Defendants are correct.
