Grubhub Inc. agreed to pay $5 million to settle a class action lawsuit alleging it made false or misleading statements regarding delivery fees, service fees and menu prices on its food delivery platform.
Who can file a claim?
Individuals must meet all of the following criteria:
- They ordered and paid for food through the Grubhub or Seamless app or website.
