A customer of theMetro The sandwich chain has been erased to proceed with his pursuit against society to send him a textility text, even after she asked them to stop.

Marina Solimanfiled the prosecution in March last year because she received promotional text messages from the fast food chain she could not get out of. It all started when she saw an advertisement for a free sandwich promotion at a metro location in California, who prompted her to send a keyword and a brief code to the company to collect the Freebie.

After continuing to receive new promotional materials from the metro on his phone, Soliman Textote society and asked them to stop, but alleges that she was ignored.

Subway says that by opting in free sandwich promotion, Soliman has accepted an arbitration clause and has actually registered with promotional text messages in the chain. The clause has been set up in the general sandwich promotion conditions published on the chain website - the only way for a customer to read it was to take the extra step to visit the web address on the sandwich advertising.

However, the US Court of Appeal for the Second Circuitsaid that Soliman was not bound by these terms and conditions in California law for several reasons. For one, Metro used a "significantly smaller" font for these terms and conditions that the rest of the advertising and surrounding unrelated information. In addition, fine printing only referenced the terms and did not specify the customers they would accept from these terms simply by sending texts to get a free sandwich, said the court.

"The Applicant Marina Soliman wanted a good deal on a sandwich sandwich," District Judge U.S. Jeffrey A. Meyer previously wrote about the case. "The metro says when Soliman has enrolled in discount sandwiches, she also accepted a lateral arbitration order. I do not think so."

According to the last decision, the subway violated the federal law by ignoring the customer's request to arrest the text, as it was not bound by the arbitration disposition written in fine printing on the website of the Metro.

Solimano is demanding from the metro pay $ 1,500 for each unwanted text message. Because it has filed a proposed collective action on behalf of all clients who have experienced a similar situation, damages could rise to millions of dollars, according toCURRENT HARTFORD.
