Providing the ability to opt out is mandatory for marketing messages. In this case, Lululemon sent service emails, such as shipping updates that also contained sales material and direct links to promotions.

We recently learned that the collectible copper cups included in the Relic Box contain elevated levels of lead and should be disposed of. We are extremely frustrated that this happened.

Oil distributors, retailers and wholesalers have been accused of taking advantage of the crisis in the Middle East to price gouge Irish consumers, farmers and businesses.

T-Mobile hit back at Verizon on Monday in Manhattan federal court, filing a countersuit that accuses Verizon's 'Better Deal' campaign of luring customers into stores with promises of big savings and then steering them toward pricier add-ons.

UK telecoms companies are retiring traditional landline services and replacing them with internet-based home phone connections. The industry has set a deadline of January 2027 to complete this switch with roughly 3.2 million homes still to move over.

This loot box model that Valve has developed - charging an individual for a chance to win something of value based on luck alone - is quintessential gambling, prohibited under New York's Constitution and Penal Law. Valve has made "tens of millions of dollars" selling loot box keys to "thousands" of New York residents and has "made millions of dollars more in commissions from New Yorkers who sold virtual items obtained from loot boxes."
The bulk of the £200 (10%) saving from a year ago is not real. It's a transfer of bad climate policy costs from bills to taxes. Hiding the problem, not solving it.
