knowingly committed consumer fraud and violated multiple consumer protection
laws.

Datto purchased Open Mesh. Open Mesh induced customers and distributors to buy
networking hardware with a promise of a free "Lifetime Cloud License" for the
cloud-based network controller platform "CloudTrax" which the hardware requires
to operate. This included maintenance, automatic firmware updates, and
support.
Datto allegedly defrauded consumers and distributors out of the value of their
purchases by disabling the free automatic firmware updates, maintenance, and
support for the hardware.
Removing this functionality of the hardware renders it useless for the purposes
it was advertised for and sold to distributors and consumers to use it in their
businesses, for example, hotels, apartments, retail stores, restaurants, small
and medium sized business, and just about anywhere else.
Datto then offered consumers and distributors to move their Open Mesh hardware
to Datto's CloudTrax, to regain this functionality if they pay a monthly fee.
Datto's CloudTrax is essentially the same as Open Mesh CloudTrax.
The lawsuit also alleges that Datto failed to provide duty of care to the
customers and distributors, violated the unfair business practice act, violated
the consumer legal remedies act, breached their contracts, breached implied
warranty of merchantability, intentionally misrepresented themselves, and
caused harm to their customers and distributors when their ability to use the
product they purchased was forcefully taken away from them.
Plaintiffs and class members suffered a loss of economic gain and subsequently
also suffered other financial loss due to Datto's alleged false advertising and
deception.
The case is Dinnerman et al v. Datto, Inc et al, 8:21-cv-01771-JVS-DFM.
The plaintiffs, Joshua Dinnerman and Paul Feinberg, are represented by the Law
Offices of Gary R. Carlin APC, a Long Beach, CA based law firm.
