Levelfields, Inc. v. Reddit, Inc. a California Corporation

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 6 LEVELFIELDS, INC., Case No. 24-cv-02760-WHO

Plaintiff,

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

v. DISMISS WITH PREJUDICE

REDDIT, INC., Re: Dkt. No. 37 Defendant.

In its First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), plaintiff LevelFields, Inc. asserts a sole breach of contract claim against Reddit, Inc. Dkt. No. 34. It alleges that Reddit breached the terms of the parties’ contract, the Reddit Ad Platform Agreement (“Agreement”). The breach occurred, according to LevelFields, because Reddit charged it for “clicks” on its advertisements (“ads”) on Reddit’s platform advertisements that did not generate traffic on LevelFields’ servers. This theory of breach, however, is foreclosed by the unambiguous terms of the Agreement itself. LevelFields’ amended breach claim is DISMISSED. As LevelFields was unable to plead around the express terms of the contract, after being given leave to amend on the last round of motion practice, the FAC is dismissed…
