Legends OWO, the company behind the One World Observatory located at the top of One World Trade Center in Manhattan, has settled claims regarding undisclosed fees associated with its tickets.

Accusations against the company include failing to reveal certain costs, leading customers to pay more than anticipated.

The lawsuit states that Legends OWO did not inform buyers of ticket processing fees before they completed their purchases, which is against New York law requiring such fees to be disclosed prior to ticket selection.

The settlement will benefit individuals who purchased electronic tickets to the observatory between August 29, 2022, and November 6, 2024.

To qualify for a claim, individuals must have incurred an additional fee when buying through Legends OWO’s website.

While settling, Legends OWO has not admitted any liability but has chosen to pay a financial sum.

Claimants will receive a share of the settlement amount in relation to the ticket processing fees they paid.

This implies that the exact distribution of funds will vary based on individual fee amounts and the total number of claimants.

Individuals who paid higher ticket processing fees will receive a larger portion of the total settlement.

The cut-off date to exclude oneself from or challenge the case is January 10.

A final approval hearing is slated for March 7.

April 21 is crucial, as it’s the deadline for claims submissions.

Additionally, countless Americans may secure a portion of a multi-million dollar settlement due to a recent data breach.

This comes after a class action lawsuit was filed against a consultancy firm in Maine, alleging inadequate protection of personal data from cyber threats.

Berry, Dunn, McNeil & Parker, along with Reliable Networks—a subcontracted IT service provider—are accused of failing to prevent a data breach occurring around September 14, 2023.

The companies have agreed to a $7.25 million settlement without admitting any wrongdoing.

The suit claims that the breach compromised protected health data and identifiable information of over 100 individuals.
