Adobe pushes customers toward annual subscriptions for products like Photoshop and hides the cancellation fees, federal lawsuit alleges.
The U.S. government is suing Adobe, accusing the software maker of steering customers toward its most expensive subscription plans while concealing how much it costs to cancel.The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that Adobe deceives customers by 'hiding' the early termination fee for the company's services, which includes popular tools such as Acrobat, Photoshop and Illustrator.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court by Department of Justice based on the FTC's findings, names Adobe vice president Maninder Sawhney and the president of Adobe's digital media business, David Wadhwani, as defendants. The FTC alleges that Adobe's practices violate the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act.
