A new lawsuit by Santa Clara County accuses pop superstar Rihanna’s lingerie company Savage X Fenty of deceiving customers by automatically enrolling them in a “VIP” program with automatic recurring credit card charges.

Savage X Fenty by Rihanna broke California’s just-tightened automatic-renewal law through the scheme, according to the suit filed by Santa Clara and four other counties, including Santa Cruz, on behalf of the people of California.

“When consumers purchased (Savage X Fenty’s) products on its website, (the company) would automatically add an automatically recurring paid VIP membership into the consumers’ shopping bag, causing the consumers’ credit card (to) be charged repeatedly … until cancelled by the consumers,” the lawsuit filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court claimed.

The five counties accused the company of fraud, alleging that its actions “were likely to deceive members of the public and were performed with that intent.”

Savage X Fenty failed to properly disclose the terms and conditions of the auto-renewal program “clearly and conspicuously on its website,” and did not obtain customers’ “affirmative and express informed consent” to the program.  The company also did not provide “a simple online mechanism for customers to stop recurring charges.”

The firm also told customers that store credit accrued via VIP membership could be used at any time, when in fact it could only be used for purchases costing more than the value of the credit. source

Saw some YouTube video's about this new type of business, and Savage x fenty especially ages ago and was wondering why it was legal. 

Sneaky stuff, glad they're sueing, but there's way more businesses like these out there.

Tbh, so many companies are doing this business method and it is not only them. I hope they have a crack down on these scammy business models.

Look at Kate Hudson's Fabletics company. Moral lesson is, you can purchase items from these companies but you have to read the small prints and uncheck all those boxes when purchasing.

You cant just stress buy or do retail therapy while stressed or else you will miss the small print.
