Tribe App Text Message Settlement Notes
- Rattner v. Tribe App, Inc., Case No. 17-cv-21344-UU
- Horsley v. Tribe App, Inc., Case No. 1:17-cv-23111-JLK
- Both pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida
Plaintiffs Alexander Rattner and Kenneth Horsely sued Tribe App for allegedly sending unsolicited text messages to consumers’ cell phones to promote its mobile application. Placing text messages for the purposes of telemarketing without the recipients prior express consent is a violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. The Tribe App is a differentiated over-the-top (OTT) online video service.
In Rattner’s case, he claims that over a period of three days in April 2017 he received numerous unsolicited text messages from Tribe App that were reportedly sent via an autodialer, encouraging him to click on a link to the company’s website. Horsely’s complaint details a similar experience. These telemarketing text messages had no opt out option either.
Tribe denies each and every allegation of wrongdoing, liability, and damages. Complete details about the case and settlement are provided on the Tribe App Text Message settlement website.
