You may qualify for the Adobe subscription claim if you got stuck with a cancellation fee
Last checked August 30, 2026
This one is an individual arbitration claim run by a law firm, not a settled class action. The Department of Justice sued Adobe over a hidden early termination fee on its most popular subscription plan, and the FTC said Adobe made year-long plans hard to leave. Labaton Keller Sucharow (through its Lantern site) is taking on consumers one at a time.
There is no settlement fund and no claim form. You fill out a short sign-up, the firm reviews it, and the firm decides whether to take your case. Nobody promises representation or a payment at that stage.
You may qualify if
- ✓You signed up for an Adobe subscription on the annual plan paid monthly, the plan at the center of the DOJ complaint.
- ✓Adobe charged you an early termination fee when you cancelled, or told you one would apply, and you did not know about it when you subscribed.
- ✓You tried to cancel and ran into extra steps, offers, or dead ends that kept the subscription running.
- ✓You live in the United States. Statutory damages vary by state, so the firm asks where you lived at the time.
What you need to sign up
No receipts are required to start. The Lantern form asks for basic contact details and your account history in plain words. If you have the cancellation email, the fee charge on a card statement, or the original sign-up confirmation, keep them where you can find them, because the firm reviews each person's facts individually.
Signing up is free. The firm gets paid only out of a recovery, and only if it takes your case and wins or settles it.
Deadline and what you get
No public deadline is listed. The firm can close intake whenever it has enough cases, and the listing is marked limited time.
The firm's page describes potential statutory damages of up to $500 or more, depending on your state of residence. That is the ceiling the law allows, not an estimate of what any one person gets. Outcomes depend on the firm's review, the law in your state, and a separate agreement with counsel.
The Payout app lists this claim too and points to the same Lantern sign-up. Either route reaches the same form.
Questions about the Adobe Subscription case
Is this a class action settlement with a fund?
No. It is an individual consumer arbitration claim handled by Labaton Keller Sucharow. There is no fund and no per-person payout table.
Do I need proof that I paid the termination fee?
Not to submit the sign-up. The firm reviews your account facts afterward and may ask for statements or emails then.
Does signing up mean the firm represents me?
No. Representation, an attorney-client relationship, and any recovery depend on the firm's review and a separate agreement with you.
How long do I have?
The listing shows no fixed deadline. Intake can close at any time, so the firm's page is the place to check whether it is still open.
