How much does the Sagacity v. Mach III Settlement pay?

The total settlement fund is $10M. Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.

Is the Sagacity v. Mach III Settlement notice real, or a scam?

JND Legal Administration is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at sagacity-machiii.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.

When will payments from the Sagacity v. Mach III Settlement be sent?

Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for October 1, 2025; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
