If you reside in the United States and your PII was impacted by a data incident that occurred on September 22, 2022 (the “Data Incident”), including all those who were sent notice of the Data Incident by The Cornwell Quality Tools Company (“Defendant” or “CQT”), then you may be eligible for Settlement Benefits.

To receive a payment and/or credit monitoring services, you must complete a Claim Form. Claim Forms must be submitted online or postmarked no later than November 27, 2025.

Settlement Class Members may file a claim for one or more of the following settlement benefits:

Credit Monitoring: Settlement Class Members may file a claim for two (2) years of 3-bureau credit monitoring and fraud protection services with $1 million insurance protection (“Credit Monitoring”).

Reimbursement for Ordinary Out-of-Pocket Losses and Time Spent: In addition to Credit Monitoring, Settlement Class Members may submit a claim for reimbursement up to an individual aggregate cap of $500.00 for:

  1. Documented (excluding self-prepared documents), unreimbursed out-of-pocket losses that are fairly traceable to the Data Incident (“Ordinary Out-of-Pocket Losses”), and

  2. Lost time spent addressing the Data Incident at a rate of $20.00 per hour for up to three (3) hours (i.e., not to exceed $60.00 per Settlement Class Member), subject to an attestation by signature under penalty of perjury from the Settlement Class Member, as to how the time was spent, demonstrating that it was related to the Data Incident (“Time Spent”).

Ordinary Out-of-Pocket Losses include: (i) documented out-of-pocket expenses related to the Data Incident such as: (a) bank fees, (b) long-distance phone charges, (c) cell phone charges (only if charged by the minute), (d) data charges (only if charged based on the amount of data used), (e) postage, and (f) gasoline for local travel; and (ii) documented fees for credit reports, credit monitoring, or other identity theft insurance products.

Extraordinary Out-Of-Pocket Losses: In addition to Credit Monitoring and reimbursement for Ordinary Out- of-Pocket Losses and Time Spent, Settlement Class Members may subject a claim for documented (excluding self-prepared documents), unreimbursed losses related to identity fraud caused by the Data Incident (e.g., fraudulent charges on financial accounts and unauthorized loans) up to an individual aggregate cap of $5,000.00, but not more than the documented loss proven (“Extraordinary Out-of-Pocket Losses”). For each claim of an Extraordinary Out-of-Pocket Loss, the Settlement Class Member must show the following, supported by documentation:

  • The loss is an actual and unreimbursed monetary loss, supported by third-party documentation;

  • The loss resulted from actual identity theft, fraud, or similar criminal victimization;

  • The loss was more likely than not caused by the Data Incident;

  • The loss is not already covered by one or more of the other/normal reimbursement categories (i.e., Ordinary Out-Of-Pocket Losses or Time Spent); and

  • The Settlement Class Member made reasonable efforts to avoid, mitigate, or seek reimbursement for the loss, including, but not limited to, exhaustion of all available credit monitoring insurance and identity theft insurance.

Alternative Cash Payment: In addition to Credit Monitoring but in lieu of submitting a claim for reimbursement of Ordinary Out-of-Pocket Losses, Time Spent, and Extraordinary Out-of-Pocket Losses, Settlement Class Members may submit a claim for an alternative cash payment in the amount of $50.00 (“Alternative Cash Payment”). Settlement Class Members do not need to submit any supporting documentation or attestations to receive this Alternative Cash Payment.
