If you are an individual within the United States whose Private Information was potentially impacted by the Data Incident publicly announced by The Cornwell Quality Tools Company (“Defendant” or “CQT”) in September 2025 (the “Data Incident”), including all those who were sent notice from CQT, then you may be a Settlement Class Member. Excluded from the Settlement Class are: (i) CQT, the Related Entities, and their respective officers and directors, and any entity in which Defendant has a controlling interest; (ii) all members of the Settlement Class who timely and validly submit an Opt-Out Request in conformity with Paragraph 4 [of the Settlement Agreement]; (iii) and all judges assigned to hear any aspect of this litigation, as well as their immediate family members; (iv) any and all federal, state or local governments, including but not limited to their departments, agencies, divisions, bureaus, boards, sections, groups, counsels and/or subdivisions; and (v) any other Person found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be guilty under criminal law of initiating, causing, aiding or abetting the criminal activity occurrence of the Data Incident or who pleads nolo contendere to any such charge.
If you are a Settlement Class Member and wish to receive one or more Settlement Benefits then you must submit a Claim Form by January 25, 2027.
Settlement Class Members may file a claim for one or more of the following Settlement Benefits:
Identity Monitoring. All Class Members may submit a claim for two (2) years of three-bureau CyEx Financial Shield monitoring and fraud protection with $1 million identity theft insurance.
Reimbursement for Lost Time. Class Members who spent time responding to the Data Incident may claim up to three (3) hours, at $20.00 per hour, for a maximum of $60.00 (combined with Out-of-Pocket Losses for an individual aggregate cap of $5,000.00), the combined total is capped at $500.00). You must have spent the time on tasks related to the Data Incident. Some examples include things like:
spent time calling customer services lines, writing letters or email or on the Internet in order to get fraudulent charges reversed
updating automatic payment programs because your card number changed
monitoring your credit reports and bank accounts for fraudulent activity
Reimbursement for Out-of-Pocket Losses. Class Members who incurred actual, documented out-of-pocket losses due to the Data Incident, may submit a claim, combined with Lost Time, for an individual aggregate cap of $5,000.00. You cannot claim a payment for expenses that have already been reimbursed by a third party. This benefit covers out-of-pocket expenses like:
bank fees
long-distance phone charges
cell phone charges (only if charged by the minute)
data charges (only if charged based on the amount of data used)
postage
gasoline for local travel
documented expenses for credit reports, credit monitoring or other identity theft insurance products
You need to submit documentation sufficient to show: (a) the amount of unreimbursed loss that you suffered, and (b) why you believe that the loss is related to the Data Incident in the case. Documents for financial expenses may include credit card or bank statements, emails, invoices, receipts, or telephone records, including photographs of the same. Personal statements or declarations are not considered reasonable documentation, but may be used to provide clarification, context, or support for other documentation. Self- prepared documents are not sufficient documentation to support your claim.
Alternative Cash Payment. In addition to Identity Monitoring, but in lieu of submitting a claim for reimbursement of Out-of-Pocket Losses and Lost Time, Settlement Class Members may submit a claim for an alternative cash payment in the amount of $50.00.
