NZXT has agreed to a $3 million settlement to resolve a class action lawsuit involving its PC rental program and claims of deceptive practices. The settlement aims to compensate affected customers following disputes over ownership and rental terms.
Under the terms of the agreement, the settlement includes $3 million in total damages. Some customers who participated in the rental program will also be permitted to keep their rented PCs without further obligation.
Settlement details
The litigation centered on how NZXT marketed its hardware rental services to consumers. Plaintiffs alleged that the company's practices misled buyers regarding the long-term ownership of the equipment.
According to reports from PC Gamer, the settlement provides relief to a class of users who were impacted by the disputed rental terms. Beyond the monetary payout, the agreement allows specific participants to retain their hardware.
NZXT did not admit to any wrongdoing as part of the agreement. The company reached the settlement to avoid the continued costs and uncertainties of protracted legal proceedings.
Eligible class members can apply for a portion of the $3 million fund. The final distribution of these funds remains subject to court approval and the verification of claims.
