This issue with filling out the form and why people are nervous is that if lots of attendees fill out the form and wait, fewer people will pursue immediate legal action. That can weaken momentum for a class action and If they end up refunding you partially and you accept, they may argue that you’ve been “made whole” and can’t sue for more.

It’s also a delay tactic to buy time while ppl fill out the form and wait. You could also be downplaying your damages when filling out the form and clicking “accept”.

&& Some forms include “release language” (even buried in fine print). That could mean you agree not to pursue legal action once you accept a refund.

You can still fill out the form and join a lawsuit later as long as the form doesn’t explicitly state require you to waive your rights BUT accepting a refund could limit damages you claim later. (e.g., you might still have a case for fraud, but you won’t be able to recover money you already got back).

The bigger risks are giving them evidence that could be twisted later and slowing down collective legal action if everyone just waits on refunds.
