HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 21, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VistaPrint Limited
(Nasdaq:VPRT) today announced that two nearly identical purported class action
lawsuits have been brought against VistaPrint USA, Inc., VistaPrint Corp., and
two third party merchants in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Texas and the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey. The plaintiffs allege various violations of the federal Electronic Funds
Transfer Act and the federal Electronic Communications and Privacy Act, as well
as asserting various state statutory and common law claims, relating to certain
membership discount programs offered by the third party merchants on
VistaPrint's U.S. website. The plaintiffs seek an unspecified amount of damages,
including compensatory and punitive damages, as well as injunctive relief.
VistaPrint believes it has meritorious defenses to these lawsuits and intends to
defend these matters vigorously.
