SeeEyeWear TCPA Text Message Settlement

These are two different groups based on the circumstances in which the texts were sent. The notice does not say that receiving a notice guarantees that you qualify; it says that a notice was sent because SeeEyeWear texted your number and that you may be in one or more classes.

• You may fall within the Do Not Call Registry Class if, within a 12-month period, you received more than one text sent by or for SeeEyeWear to sell its products or services while your number had been on the National Do Not Call Registry for at least 30 days.
• You may fall within the National Internal Do Not Call Class if, within a 12-month period, you received more than one SeeEyeWear marketing text after you had opted out of SeeEyeWear text messages.
• The notice says people may belong to one or both classes. The notice's competing descriptions of the class period are identified separately in the issues above.

The $275,210 settlement fund is also used for notice and administration costs, court-awarded attorneys’ fees and expenses, and any approved service award for the class representative. Any money remaining after distributions goes back to SeeEyeWear.

• Eligible claimants can receive up to $290 for each qualifying text message.
• You may submit only one Claim Form, which must cover all of your text messages.
• The stated amount is not guaranteed. Payments may be reduced proportionately if the money available is not enough to pay the full amount on all approved claims and the other permitted settlement expenses.

The notice requires a timely, valid, complete, verified, and signed Claim Form. It does not say in this notice whether supporting documents must be submitted with the form. A signature, verification, or notice alone is not described as documentary proof.

• Submit a valid Claim Form by November 27, 2026.
• You can submit online through the settlement website or request a paper form by calling the Administrator at 1-877-512-2849.
• Read the form instructions, complete and sign the form, then submit it online or mail it. A mailed form must be postmarked by 11:59 p.m. Eastern on November 27, 2026.

The hearing date and time may change by court order. The notice says updated hearing information will be posted on the settlement website.

• Payments cannot be made unless the Court approves the settlement and any appeals are final.
• The Final Approval Hearing is scheduled for November 12, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. by Zoom videoconference.
• Appeals may occur after approval and can take more than a year to resolve. The notice does not provide a payment date.

Excluding yourself, also called opting out, means leaving the settlement. You will not receive a settlement payment or be bound by the settlement, and you keep the ability to pursue or continue your own lawsuit about the released telemarketing claims. You cannot opt out by phone, fax, or email, and you cannot object if you opt out.

• Mail an exclusion request postmarked by October 13, 2026.
• Include your name, address, telephone number, current phone number, any number where you received a SeeEyeWear text, a statement that you want to be excluded, and your signature.
• Mail the request to: SeeEyeWear TCPA Settlement, Exclusion Requests, P.O. Box 2002, Chanhassen, MN 55317-2002.

You do not have to attend the hearing for the Court to consider a timely written objection that meets the notice requirements. If you want to speak at the hearing, say so in your objection. The hearing is set for November 12, 2026, by Zoom.

• You must be a Settlement Class Member and remain in the settlement; people who exclude themselves cannot object.
• File a written objection with the Court by October 13, 2026, and mail a copy to the Settlement Administrator postmarked by that date.
• The objection has detailed content requirements. It must identify you and the case, provide information showing class membership, state your specific objections and their factual and legal basis, and include the other information listed in the notice.

Doing nothing is different from opting out: doing nothing leaves you in the settlement but does not get you a payment.

• You will not receive money from this settlement.
• Unless you exclude yourself, you will give up the ability to start, continue, or join another lawsuit against SeeEyeWear concerning the legal issues released here.
• The release includes TCPA and other federal or state telemarketing-law claims related to SeeEyeWear texts during the class period, including texts after an opt-out request or texts sent to numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry.

Yes. The cover describes qualifying texts from August 14, 2021 through August 14, 2025, while the detailed definitions use a period beginning four years before the complaint was filed, but the notice does not give that filing date. It also does not explain whether a text fitting both class definitions is paid once or under each class.
