A court authorized the creation of this informational website. It is not a solicitation from a lawyer or an advertisement.
This website provides information regarding a class action lawsuit against Express Technologies, Ltd. (“ExpressVPN”), titled Marin et al. v. Express Technologies, Ltd., Case No. 26CU028651N, in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, which may affect your rights.
A court has preliminarily approved a class action settlement involving ExpressVPN. The Class includes individuals who purchased an automatically renewing ExpressVPN subscription and paid at least one autorenewal charge in the period from September 15, 2022 to June 13, 2025 while living in California.
The lawsuit alleges that ExpressVPN’s autorenewal practices violated California consumer protection statutes. ExpressVPN denies any wrongdoing and maintains that it complies and has always complied with all applicable laws. The Court has not determined who is right.
The Court will hold a hearing on whether to approve the settlement on February 19, 2027 (“the Final Approval Hearing”). Payments will be made only if the Court approves the settlement.
Your rights and options—and the deadlines to exercise them—are summarized below. Further information can be found on the FAQs page and in the Long Form Notice available on the Documents page.
