If you bought a Nike Fuelband fitness tracker at any point from Jan. 29, 2012 to June 17, 2015, Nike will pay you in the form of a $25 gift card or $15 cash.
That’s the result of a settlement the Beaverton, Ore.-shoe giant just reached in a lawsuit filed two years ago claiming that Nike and Apple breached warranty terms after “false and/or misleading statements were made regarding the Nike+ FuelBand’s ability to accurately track calories, steps, and NikeFuel.”
While Apple was a co-defendant in the case, Nike will offer customers who bought the wearable device a $25 Nike gift card or $15 in cash. You can submit a claim form here until Jan. 4, 2016 — more details about the claim options are here.
Both Nike and Apple, which sold the FuelBand in its store until earlier this year and touted the fitness-tracking benefits, denied the claims made in the lawsuit. Nike stepped back from wearable hardware in April 2014 when it laid off a majority of the FuelBand team, but the company says it still remains committed to developing wearable software. The Apple Watch has a Nike+ app, and Apple even hired former FuelBand engineers.
Nike and Apple have worked together for the past several years, dating back to the Nike+ iPod. Apple CEO Tim Cook, who sits on Nike’s board of directors, was a long-time FuelBand advocate and frequently wore the device.
