Frequently Asked Questions

This is a notice of a settlement in a class action lawsuit. The settlement would resolve the class action lawsuit Tiffany Lewis filed against Register.com. Please read this notice carefully. It explains the class action lawsuit, the settlement, and legal rights you may have, including the process for receiving a settlement check, excluding yourself from the settlement, or objecting to the settlement.

Ms. Lewis filed a class action lawsuit against Register.com alleging that Register.com violated the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA") by placing certain calls to cellular telephone numbers in connection with which Register.com used an artificial or prerecorded voice absent prior express consent. The TCPA allows for damages in the amount of $500 per violation, and up to $1,500 for willful violations. However, prior express consent is a complete defense to a claim under the TCPA. You can find additional information about Ms. Lewis’s claims in her amended class action complaint, which is available on this website in the court documents section.

In a class action, one or more people called “class representatives” file a class action lawsuit on behalf of people who have similar claims. All of these people together are a “class” or “class members.” The court accordingly resolves claims for all class members at once, except for those who first exclude themselves from the class. 

Ms. Lewis, on the one hand, and Register.com (now Network Solutions, LLC), on the other, have agreed to settle the class action lawsuit to avoid the time, risk, and expense associated with further litigation, and to achieve a final resolution of the disputed claims. Under the settlement, settlement class members will obtain a payment in exchange for the settlement of claims Ms. Lewis raised in the class action lawsuit. Ms. Lewis and her attorneys think the settlement is fair and reasonable.

The settlement resolves claims on behalf of the following settlement class:

All persons and entities throughout the United States (1) to whom Register.com, Inc. placed a call, (2) directed to a telephone number assigned to a cellular telephone service, (3) in connection with which Register.com, Inc. used an artificial or prerecorded voice, (4) from February 12, 2021 through November 24, 2025, and (5) after the cellular telephone number was permanently disconnected and made available for reassignment per the Federal Communications Commission’s Reassigned Numbers Database.

Register.com states that from February 12, 2021 through November 24, 2025 it placed 1,652 calls in connection with which it used an artificial or prerecorded voice to 453 telephone numbers assigned to a cellular telephone service after the telephone numbers were permanently disconnected and made available for reassignment per the FCC’s RND.

Register.com (now, Network Solutions, LLC) will establish a settlement fund in the amount of $1,500,000 to compensate members of the settlement class. Out of the settlement fund will be paid:

1. Settlement compensation to participating, approved settlement class members;
2. Notice and administration costs;
3. An award of attorneys’ fees not to exceed one-third of the settlement fund, subject to the court’s approval; 
4. Litigation costs and expenses incurred in litigating the TCPA claims in this matter not to exceed $25,000, subject to the court’s approval; and 
5. An incentive award to Ms. Lewis not to exceed $10,000, subject to the court’s approval.

Each member of the settlement class who submits an approved claim form will be entitled, subject to the provisions of the settlement agreement, to his or her equal share of the $1,500,000 settlement fund as it exists after deducting:

1. Notice and administration costs (including related taxes and expenses);
2. An incentive award for Ms. Lewis’s service to the class;
3. An award of attorneys’ fees; and
4. Litigation costs and expenses incurred in litigating the claims in this matter.

The settlement provides for more than $3,300¹ per potentially affected cellular telephone number. The actual amount each participating, approved member of the settlement class will receive depends on the number of settlement class members who submit approved claims.

¹As the Court notes in its April 1, 2026 Order Granting Motion for Preliminary Class Approval: "After deducting the $25,000 for litigation costs and expenses, $10,000 for Ms. Lewis's incentive award, and $500,000 for attorneys' fees, approximately $965,000 remains in the Settlement Fund to be divided on a pro rata basis amongst the 453 Class Members. . . . Assuming each Class Member files a claim, the Settlement Fund provides for approximately $2,130 to each affected telephone number.”

You must mail a valid, approved claim form to the Lewis v. Register.com, Inc. Settlement Administrator, PO Box 225391, New York, NY 10150-5391 postmarked by June 15, 2026. Or you must submit a valid, approved claim through this website by June 15, 2026. 

If the court grants final approval of the settlement, settlement checks will be mailed no later than 30 days after the judgment in the lawsuit becomes final to settlement class members who submitted approved claim forms. If there is an appeal of the settlement, payment may be delayed.

If you fall within the settlement class, and unless you exclude yourself from the settlement, you will give up your right to sue or continue a lawsuit against Register.com (now, Network Solutions, LLC) over the released claims, as defined in the settlement agreement. Giving up your legal claims is called a release. If you fall within the settlement class, unless you formally exclude yourself from the settlement, you will release certain TCPA claims you may have against Register.com (now, Network Solutions, LLC).

For more information about the release, released parties, and released claims, you may obtain a copy of the class action settlement agreement from this website, or from the clerk of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana.

If you fall within the settlement class, you may exclude yourself from the settlement, in which case you will not receive a payment, and you will not release any TCPA claims you may have against Register.com (now, Network Solutions, LLC). If you fall within the settlement class, and if you wish to exclude yourself from the settlement, you must mail a written request for exclusion to the claims administrator at the following address, postmarked by June 15, 2026:

Lewis v. Register.com, Inc. Settlement Administrator 

ATTN: EXCLUSION REQUEST

PO Box 225391

New York, NY 10150-5391

You must include in your request for exclusion your:

1. Full name;
2. Address; 
3. Telephone number called by Register.com demonstrating that you are a member of the settlement class; and
4. A clear and unambiguous statement that you wish to be excluded from the settlement, such as “I request to be excluded from the settlement in the Lewis v. Register.com Inc. action.”

You must sign the request personally. If any person signs on your behalf, that person must attach a copy of the power of attorney authorizing that signature.

The court will hold a final fairness hearing on July 7, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET, in Room 307 at the United States Courthouse, 46 East Ohio Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. The hearing will take place in person. At the final fairness hearing, the court will consider whether the settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate and, if so, whether final approval of the settlement should be granted. The court will also hear objections to the settlement, if any. The court may make a decision at that time, postpone a decision, or continue the hearing.

The date of the final fairness hearing may change without further notice. Settlement class members should check this website or the court’s Public Access to Court Electronic Records (“PACER”) website to confirm that the date has not changed. 

No, there is no requirement that you attend the final fairness hearing. However, you are welcome to attend the hearing, in person, at your own expense. You cannot speak at the hearing if you have excluded yourself from the settlement class because the settlement no longer affects your legal rights.

If you fall within the settlement class, and if you do not exclude yourself from the settlement class, you can object to the settlement, or any part of it, if you do not believe it is fair, reasonable, and adequate. If you fall within the settlement class, and if you wish to object, you must mail a written notice of objection, postmarked by June 15, 2026, to class counsel, counsel for Register.com, and to the Court, at the following addresses: 

You must include in your objection your:

1. Full name;
2. Address;
3. Telephone number to which Register.com placed a subject artificial or prerecorded voice call from February 12, 2021 through November 24, 2025, to demonstrate that you are a member of the settlement class;
4. Statement of the objection;
5. Description of the facts underlying the objection;
6. Description of the legal authorities that support each objection;
7. Statement noting whether you intend to appear at the Fairness Hearing;
8. List of all witnesses that you intend to call by live testimony, deposition testimony, or affidavit or declaration testimony;
9. List of exhibits that you intend to present at the Fairness Hearing; and
10. Signature.

By filing an objection, you can ask the court to deny approval of the settlement. But you cannot ask the court to order a different settlement. The court can only approve or reject the settlement. If the court denies approval, no settlement payments will be sent out and the class action lawsuit will continue. If that is what you want to happen, you must object.

Any objection to the proposed settlement must be in writing. If you fall within the settlement class, and if you submit a timely written objection, you may, but are not required to, appear at the final fairness hearing, in person. If you appear through an attorney, you are responsible for hiring and paying that attorney.

Any settlement class member who objects to the settlement and wishes to enter an appearance must do so by June 15, 2026. To enter an appearance, you must file with the clerk of the court a written notice of your appearance, and you must serve a copy of that notice, by U.S. mail or hand-delivery, upon class counsel and counsel for Register.com, at the addresses set forth in this notice.

If you are a member of the settlement class, you do nothing, and the court approves the settlement agreement, you will not receive a share of the settlement fund, but you will release certain TCPA claims you may have against Register.com/Network Solutions, LLC. If you fall within the settlement class, unless you exclude yourself from the settlement, you will not be able to sue or continue a lawsuit against Register.com/ Network Solutions, LLC over the released TCPA claims.

If the court does not finally approve the settlement, or if it finally approves the settlement and the approval is reversed on appeal, or if the settlement does not become final for some other reason, you will receive no benefits from the settlement, and the class action lawsuit will continue.
