VPNSecure’s lifetime plan didn’t survive after new ownership took over. Now customers are hopping mad.

    You’ve never heard of a contract?

      Companies aren’t held to contracts like people are held to contracts. One buyout, restructuring, name change, no more contract. It’s meaningless

        Depending on the terms and jurisdiction, there may be penalties for not honoring a contractual agreement.

        Good luck collecting a check for $0.72 from the class action lawsuit. A fraction of a percentage from their profits.

        This would be an issue of enforcement.
