Advertising Disclosure & Attorney Advertising Notice

Last Updated: May 10, 2026

This disclosure explains how OpenClassActions.com ("OCA") earns revenue, the kinds of paid relationships we have, and how those relationships are labeled. It is provided in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and applicable state-bar rules on attorney advertising.

Our Role

What OpenClassActions.com is — and is not. OpenClassActions.com (“OCA”) is an informational publishing platform and a marketing / referral platform that reports on class action lawsuits, settlements, mass torts, data breaches, consumer rebates, recalls, and related consumer-rights matters. We are not a law firm, settlement administrator, claims administrator, court, government agency, or insurance company. We do not represent claimants, prosecute or defend lawsuits, process or pay claims, determine eligibility, or issue or deny settlement payments. Nothing on the Site or the Service constitutes legal, medical, financial, or tax advice. No attorney-client, fiduciary, or confidential relationship is created by visiting this Site, reading any content, submitting any form, sending us a message, or otherwise communicating with us.

How OCA Makes Money

OpenClassActions.com participates in affiliate and advertising programs and may receive compensation from certain links, products, services, or sponsored partnerships referenced on the Site, including:

• Affiliate links. We participate in the Amazon Associates program and may participate in other affiliate programs. When you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.
• Display advertising. Banner and contextual ads served by Google AdSense and similar third-party advertising networks.
• Sponsored content. Paid sponsored articles, sponsored investigations, and sponsored newsletter slots produced in coordination with a paying partner. These placements are labeled "Sponsored," "Sponsored Investigation," "Advertisement," "Paid Partnership," or equivalent.
• Lead-generation arrangements. Intake or contact forms operated for or with a partner law firm or claims administrator. Form submissions are routed to the partner per our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We may receive payment per qualified submission, on a flat-fee basis, or under another negotiated structure.
• Practice-area sponsorships. Month-to-month exclusive or non-exclusive sponsorship of a practice-area category or specific case page.

Editorial Independence

Compensation does not influence independent editorial coverage. We cover settlements, breaches, and consumer-rights matters because they have news value to readers, not because anyone paid us to. Sponsored placements are clearly labeled. We do not allow advertisers to review or approve editorial coverage of the same subject matter as a condition of advertising. For full editorial standards see our Editorial Policy.

Attorney Advertising Notice

Some content, intake forms, sponsored investigations, and lead-generation campaigns presented on this Site may constitute attorney advertising under the rules of one or more U.S. jurisdictions. Past or anticipated results described in any case summary or sponsored placement are not a guarantee or prediction of the outcome of any future legal matter. Hiring a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely on advertisements. Before making a hiring decision, you should request information about the qualifications and experience of any attorney you are considering.

What Submitting an Intake Form Means

By submitting any intake form, contact form, or claim summary on the Site, you expressly authorize OCA to share the information you provide with attorneys, law firms, claims administrators, marketing partners, or service providers associated with the investigation, settlement, or legal matter you selected. Submission does not guarantee representation, compensation, eligibility, or participation in any lawsuit or settlement. Whether you are accepted as a client, deemed a class member, or recover any compensation depends entirely on the law firm, claims administrator, or court with authority over the relevant matter — not on OCA. See the Claim Submission section of our Terms of Service.

Phone, SMS, and Email Contact

We will only call or text a phone number you provide if you have given prior express written consent at the form where you submitted that number (typically a clearly labeled SMS / call consent checkbox). Submitting a phone number alone is not consent to be contacted by phone or text. You can revoke consent at any time by replying STOP to a text or by emailing privacy@openclassactions.com. Message and data rates may apply where you have opted in. Consent to receive marketing calls or texts is not a condition of any benefit.

FTC Endorsement Guides

Where we publish testimonials, partner quotes, or third-party endorsements, we follow the FTC Endorsement Guides:

• testimonials reflect the experience of the specific person quoted and may not be typical of the average user;
• identifying details may be withheld at the source's request, but we do not invent quotes or attributions;
• material connections (compensation, free product, family relationship) are disclosed where they exist.

Not Responsible for Third Parties

OCA is not responsible for, and disclaims liability for, the conduct, advice, fees, communications, or representation of any attorney, law firm, claims administrator, or other third party advertising on or contacted through the Site. See Section 9 of our Terms of Service for the full third-party disclaimer.

Reporting an Advertising or Disclosure Concern

If you believe a placement is unlabeled, mis-labeled, or otherwise misleading, please email editorial@openclassactions.com. We take disclosure compliance seriously and will investigate promptly.
