Important Dates & Deadlines

To receive a payment from the settlement, you must make a claim. You can do so on this website. 

The only way to receive a settlement payment is to make a valid claim.

If you bought a qualifying telescope, you may have received an email or postcard with a claim code saying you are part of the settlement. You can use your claim code to file a claim for a payment here. If you did not receive an email or postcard, but believe you purchased a qualifying telescope, you can make a claim here. You can also download a copy of the claim form to mail in here.

If you do nothing:

• You will not get any money from the settlement;
• You will remain in the settlement class and your claims against the Settling Defendants and Co-Conspirators will be bound by the orders of the Court; and
• You will not retain your right to bring your own lawsuit against the Synta Defendants for the conduct described above.

You can opt out of the settlement class (also known as excluding yourself) if you want ot separately bring the kinds of claims against Defendants and co-conspirators that are the subject of this lawsuit.

If you opt out of the settlment class:

• you will not get any settlement payment;
• you will retain your right to bring your own lawsuit against defendants and co-conspirators regarding the same conduct.

If you are considering bringing a separate claim against defendants and co-conspirators, you should consult your own attorney who can advise you regarding any possible claims you may have and the deadlines in this litigation. 

The deadline to opt out is: February 13, 2025.

If you are a member of the settlement class and do not opt out, you can object to the settlement if you do not like it. 

The deadline to object is: February 13, 2025.
