Background of the Lawsuit
Plaintiffs Ahntourage Media LLC, Just Josh, Inc., Storm Productions LLC, TechSource Official, and ToastyBros, LLC alleged that Capital One Shopping received affiliate marketing commissions that should have gone to settlement class members who were affiliate marketers. Plaintiffs claimed Capital One Shopping’s browser extension intercepted affiliate commissions in violation of industry standards and stand-down rules established by affiliate networks and merchants.
Capital One denied all allegations and maintains that Capital One Shopping is an industry leader that works closely and transparently with affiliate network and advertising partners. The court has not decided who is right. The parties agreed to settle to avoid the costs, risks, and delays of continued litigation. As part of the settlement, Capital One committed to implement business practice changes regarding stand-down compliance and establish an ombudsman process for handling affiliate concerns.
