Benefits from E-books Settlement with Apple
Para una notificaci6n en Espaflol, /lamar o visitar nuestro website.

Records indicate that you could be affected by two lawsuits against Apple Inc. ("Apple") about the
price of electronic books ("E-books"). The Court ordered this notice and decided that these cases
should proceed on behalf of two groups of people that could include you. The case is scheduled to go
to trial to determine if Apple must pay any money.
What the Apple Settlement Provides
The Apple Settlement provides for three possible outcomes, depending on the decision of an appeal
ofthe Court's July 10, 2013 finding that Apple violated the antitrust laws ("Liability Finding"). First,
if the Court's Liability Finding is upheld, Apple will pay $400 million to Eligible Consumers.
Second, if the Liability Finding is sent back to the District Court for further consideration of whether
Apple violated the antitrust laws, Apple will pay $50 million to Eligible Consumers. Third, if the
Liability Finding is reversed, Apple will make no payments.
If Apple is required to pay Eligible Consumers under either of the first two options and if the Court
approves the Apple Settlement, you will receive a credit to your iTunes account that may need to be
activated. The amount of your payment, if any, will be determined based on the qualifying E-book
purchases identified by Apple in your iTunes account.
How to Receive your Benefit
If Apple is required to make a payment to Eligible Consumers, you do not need to do anything at this
time to receive your credit unless you change your email address. (If you do change your email
address, you should call 1-866-686-9333, or visit www.EbookLawsuits.com and click on the
"Update Your Contact Information" link.) If the Court approves the Apple Settlement, you will
receive another email letting you know how to activate your credit. Once you activate the credit, it
will be applied to your account by Apple. If you bought E-books from more than one retailer, you
may receive other notices with different instructions on how to receive a payment.
If Apple is required to make a payment to Eligible Consumers, you also have the option to receive a
check instead of your credit. You can request a check by calling 1-866-686-9333, or going to the
Apple Settlement website listed below, and clicking on the Check Request Option link on or before
October 31, 2014. Be sure to reference the Settlement ID number found at the top of this email.
Customers who received a check from the earlier E-books settlements do not have to re-submit a
check request for the Apple Settlement. However, if your mailing address changes before you
receive your check, please visit www.EbookLawsuits.com and click on the "Update Your Contact
Information" link to update your mailing address.
