The Settlement Fund will first be used to pay court-approved attorneys’ fees (totaling $439,956.00) and litigation costs (totaling $16,788.24), Service Award payments for the Plaintiffs (totaling $7,500.00), and the costs of administering the Settlement and providing the one year of CyEx Financial Shield Complete (totaling $75,000.00). The net remaining money will be used to pay for the benefits described below with the exception of the Business Practice Enhancements of $420,000.00, which will be paid by International Coffee separate and apart from the Settlement Fund.

Credit Monitoring Services. All Settlement Class Members are eligible to enroll in one (1) year of CyEx Financial Shield Complete.

If anything suspicious happens, you will be able to talk to a fraud resolution agent to help fix any problems.
Documented Loss Payment. Settlement Class Members who incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Security Incident can get back up to $5,000.00. The losses must have occurred between April 5, 2024, and February 10, 2027, and you cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
losses because of identity theft or fraud
fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or freezing and unfreezing your credit
cost to replace your government issued identification cards
postage to contact banks by mail
You must submit proof, like receipts, to show how much you spent or lost. Your personal certifications, declarations, or affidavits do not constitute reasonable documentation to make a valid claim, but you may include that to provide clarification, context, or support for other submitted reasonable documentation showing that your expenses were because of the Data Security Incident.
Alternative Cash Payment. Instead of the Documented Loss Payment, Settlement Class Members may claim a one-time cash payment. This payment is expected to be $25.00 but may be smaller depending on the total claims filed.
California Resident Cash Payment. Settlement Class Members who are residents of California may claim a one-time cash payment that is triple that of the Alternative Cash Payment in addition to all other available cash benefits. The cash payment is estimated to be $75.00, but may be larger or smaller, depending on the total claims filed.
Business Practice Enhancements. All Settlement Class Members will receive the benefit of the $420,000.00 in enhanced data security measures implemented, or that have been implemented and will continue to be implemented, by International Coffee as a result of the Settlement. This prospective relief will benefit all Class Members, regardless as to whether they make a claim, and is intended for the continued protection of the Private Information that remains in International Coffee’s possession going forward. The costs of these measures will be borne by International Coffee separate and apart from the Settlement Fund.
Residual Funds. While the Settlement Fund is designed to be exhausted and paid out pro rata to all Settlement Class Members who submit a claim, in the event it becomes economically infeasible to redistribute residual funds, such funds will be distributed to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit that promotes non-partisan digital privacy efforts.
