A California federal judge granted final approval to the Google Slide class action settlement, resolving allegations the companies sent text messages to consumers without their permission through the “Disco” group text messaging service.

U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers approved the Disco text settlement on June 26, resolving a 2011 class action lawsuit accusing Google Inc. and Slide Inc. of violating the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

The TCPA prohibits companies from contacting consumers on their cell phone without their prior express permission. Plaintiffs in the Slide Disco class action settlement alleged they received over 100 text messages in a single day through Disco.com – a group-texting platform developed by Slide that allows people to send texts to 99 people at once. When one recipient replies, the response is sent to everyone in the group.


If you received a text message from Disco regarding its messaging service without your prior express consent, you can file a claim to receive a cash payment from the class action settlement. The actual amount of payment will be a pro rata share based on the number of valid Claim Forms received and will not exceed $500.

The text messages involved contained the following or similar language: “Disco is a group texting service. Standard SMS rates may apply or chat for FREE w/ our app – http://disco.com/d More info? Text *help To quit? Text *leave.”

The only way to receive a cash payment from the Disco text class action settlement is to submit a valid Claim Form by August 10, 2013.

Claim Forms and more information on your rights in the Google Slide Disco Text Class Action Lawsuit Settlement can be found at www.DiscoTextSettlement.com. Detailed claims filing instructions can be found in our Open Lawsuit Settlements section.

The case is Pimental v. Google Inc., Case No. 11-cv-02585-YGR, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California.
