OPINION

WOLFSON, United States District Judge:

Presently, Defendant Planet Fitness, Inc., joined by Defendant Fit To Be Tied II, LLC d/b/a Planet Fitness (collectively "Defendants"), move to dismiss the sole surviving claim in Plaintiff Marni Truglio's ("Plaintiff") Amended Complaint. Plaintiff commenced this action in 2015, bringing various claims centered on allegedly unlawful provisions in Defendants' health club membership contract. The Court previously dismissed Plaintiff's claims based on the Health Club Services Act ("HCSA"), N.J.S.A. 56:8-39 to 48, and the Consumer Fraud Act ("CFA"), N.J.S.A. 56:8-1 to 195, leaving only one claim under the Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice Act ("TCCWNA"), N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 to 18. After the New Jersey Supreme Court, in Spade v. Select Comfort Corp. and Wenger v. Bob's Discount Furniture, LLC, 232 N.J. 504, 181 A.3d 969 (2018) ("Spade-Wenger"), issued a decision clarifying whether a plaintiff who had suffered no "adverse consequences" could bring a TCCWNA claim, I ordered renewed briefing on whether Plaintiffs' TCCWNA claim could survive.

For the following reasons, I find that Spade-Wenger forecloses Plaintiffs' TCWNAA claim, Defendants' motion to dismiss is granted in its entirety, and the case is, therefore, dismissed.

I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND & PROCEDURAL HISTORY

The Court incorporates the factual background and procedural history recounted in its previous Opinions issued on July 28, 2016 and March 31, 2017. In brief, Plaintiff sought to enroll in a health club membership in Defendants' organization, and Defendants provided her with a membership agreement. Am. Compl. at ¶ 33. Plaintiff executed the membership agreement, but contends that the agreement's terms violated New Jersey law by, as relevant to Plaintiff's remaining TCWNAA claim, imposing misleading requirements to cancel her health club membership. Id. at ¶ 42.

Specifically, Plaintiff alleges that Defendants extracted dues for one or more months beyond the Plaintiff's contracted for membership periods by inserting the following provision into the membership agreement:

Id., Ex. A at 1. According to Plaintiff, given that written notification of cancellation of the Membership Agreement by a consumer must be completed "by the 10th of the month" (to avoid the monthly charge on the 17th of each month) but also upon "thirty days notice," the written notification must be actually completed upon thirty-seven days notice, forcing consumers to pay at least one additional month of membership fees after they cancel the contract. Id. The Amended complaint does not allege, however, that Plaintiff ever cancelled or attempted to cancel her membership.

On September 28, 2015, Plaintiff brought suit against Defendants in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division. On October 19, 2015, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, setting forth claims, individually and on behalf of a putative class, under the TCCWNA (Count I), as well as the HCSA and CFA (Count II). Defendants removed the action to this Court on November 6, 2015, and moved to dismiss on December 4, 2015. On July 28, 2016, this Court issued an opinion and order dismissing Count II, Plaintiff's CFA and HCSA claims, without prejudice, and dismissing Count I, Plaintiff's TCCWNA claim, with prejudice, to the extent that it was based on omissions in the membership agreement. Truglio v. Planet Fitness, Inc., No. 15-7959, 2016 WL 4084030 (D.N.J. July 28, 2016) ("Truglio I"). After the Court's order and after the Court denied Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration, Truglio v. Planet Fitness, Inc., No. 15-7959, 2017 WL 1197813 (D.N.J. Mar. 31, 2017) ("Truglio II"), the only surviving claim in the Amended Complaint was Plaintiff's Count I TCCWNA claim for statutory damages based upon the inclusions of the allegedly misleading cancellation provision in the membership agreement. Although this Court had already dismissed an identical claim under Count Two because the CFA prohibits damages claims where no ascertainable loss is alleged, I declined to reach that issue with respect to the TCCWNA claim because it found a "lack of binding precedent as to whether a TCCWNA claim can be based upon an unlawful practice in violation of the CFA, but for which no ascertainable loss occurred." Truglio I, 2016 WL 4084030 at *9 n.7. On April 9, 2018, this Court stayed and administratively terminated the matter pending the New Jersey Supreme Court's decision in Spade-Wenger, which promised to fill the precedential gap by deciding whether a consumer who enters into an unlawful contract under the TCCWNA but suffers no "adverse consequences" can be an "aggrieved consumer" authorized to bring a TCCWNA damages claim. Spade-Wenger, 232 N.J. at 509, 181 A.3d 969. After Spade-Wenger answered that question in the negative, Defendants renewed their motion to dismiss Plaintiff's remaining TCCWNA claim.

II. STANDARD OF REVIEW

Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), a complaint may be dismissed for "[f]ailure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted." Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6). When reviewing a motion to dismiss on the pleadings, courts "accept all factual allegations as true, construe the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, and determine whether, under any reasonable reading of the complaint, the plaintiff may be entitled to relief." Phillips v. Cnty. of Allegheny, 515 F.3d 224, 233 (3d Cir. 2008) (quotations omitted). Under this standard, the factual allegations set forth in a complaint "must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level." Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007). Indeed, "the tenet that a court must accept as true all of the allegations contained in a complaint is inapplicable to legal conclusions." Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009). "[A] complaint must do more than allege the plaintiff's entitlement to relief. A complaint has to `show' such an entitlement with its facts." Fowler v. UPMC Shadyside, 578 F.3d 203, 211 (3d Cir. 2009).

However, Rule 12(b)(6) only requires a "short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief" in order to "give the defendant fair notice of what the ... claim is and the grounds upon which it rests." Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955. The complaint must include "enough factual matter (taken as true) to suggest the required element. This does not impose a probability requirement at the pleading stage, but instead simply calls for enough facts to raise a reasonable expectation that discovery will reveal evidence of the necessary element." Phillips, 515 F.3d at 234 (citation and quotations omitted); Covington v. Int'l Ass'n of Approved Basketball Officials, 710 F.3d 114, 118 (3d Cir. 2013) ("[A] claimant does not have to set out in detail the facts upon which he bases his claim. The pleading standard is not akin to a probability requirement; to survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint merely has to state a plausible claim for relief." (citation and quotations omitted)).

Under the current pleading regime, when a court considers a dismissal motion, three sequential steps must be taken: first, "it must take note of the elements the plaintiff must plead to state a claim." Connelly v. Lane Constr. Corp., 809 F.3d 780, 787 (3d Cir. 2016) (quotations omitted). Next, the court "should identify allegations that, because they are no more than conclusions, are not entitled to the assumption of truth." Id. (quotations omitted). Lastly, "when there are well-pleaded factual allegations, the court should assume their veracity and then determine whether they plausibly give rise to an entitlement to relief." Id. (quotations and brackets omitted).

III. ANALYSIS

The sole question before the Court on Defendants' motion to dismiss is whether Plaintiff can maintain a TCCWNA claim despite the apparent lack of any "adverse consequences." The remedial provision of TCCWNA authorizes the award of a civil penalty, damages, attorney's fees, and costs only to an "aggrieved consumer":

N.J.S.A. 56:12-17. A plaintiff pursuing a TCCWNA cause of action must prove four elements: "first, that the defendant was a `seller, lessor, creditor, lender or bailee or assignee of any of the aforesaid'; second, that the defendant offered or entered into a `written consumer contract or [gave] or display[ed] any written consumer warranty, notice or sign'; third, that at the time that the written consumer contract is signed or the written consumer warranty, notice or sign is displayed, that writing contains a provision that `violates any clearly established legal right of a consumer or responsibility of a seller, lessor, creditor, lender or bailee' as established by State or Federal law; and finally, that the plaintiff is an `aggrieved consumer.'" Spade-Wenger, 232 N.J. at 516, 181 A.3d 969 (quoting N.J.S.A. 56:12-15, -17).

At the time of Truglio I, it was unclear whether a consumer who alleged a violation of the TCCWNA but who suffered no ascertainable loss qualified as an "aggrieved consumer." As I explained in Truglio I:

Truglio I, 2016 WL 4084030 at *9 n.7.

In Spade-Wenger, the New Jersey Supreme Court finally resolved this question. There, two sets of Plaintiffs, the Spades and the Wengers, purchased furniture from retail furniture stores. Spade-Wenger, 232 N.J. at 511-12, 181 A.3d 969. According to both sets of plaintiffs, the sales documents that they received contained language limiting or prohibiting their ability to make returns or obtain full refunds in the event of late delivery of furniture, in violation of N.J.A.C. 13:45A-5.3. Id. Despite these alleged statutory violations, neither set of plaintiffs asserted that they suffered economic harm or that the furniture was actually delivered late. Id. As such, the Court set out to answer two questions, only one of which is relevant to the present case: "Is a consumer who receives a contract that does not comply with the Furniture Delivery Regulations, but has not suffered any adverse consequences from the noncompliance, an `aggrieved consumer' under the TCCWNA?" Id. at 509, 181 A.3d 969.

The Court began by noting that "the TCCWNA does not specifically define what makes a `consumer' an `aggrieved consumer' for purposes of N.J.S.A. 56:12-17." Id. at 520, 181 A.3d 969. As such, in order to divine the term's meaning, the Court looked to the plain language of the statute. Id. at 521, 181 A.3d 969. The Court observed that while only an "aggrieved consumer" can recover damages for a TCCWNA violation under the statute's remedial provision, the statute elsewhere uses the term "consumer or prospective consumer," unmodified by "aggrieved," in the section discussing prohibited conduct under the statute. Id. The Court reasoned that if the term "aggrieved consumer" in the remedial provision, meant nothing more than the word "consumer" or "prospective consumer" as defined elsewhere in the statute, the term "aggrieved" would be superfluous. Id. at 521-22, 181 A.3d 969." The Court thus found that the term "aggrieved" "distinguishes consumers who have suffered harm because of a violation of [the statute] from those who have merely been exposed to unlawful language in a contract or writing, to no effect." Id. at 522, 181 A.3d 969. Thus, "a consumer who receives a contract that includes language prohibited by N.J.A.C. 13:45A-5.3(c), but who suffers no monetary or other harm as a result of that noncompliance, is not an `aggrieved consumer' entitled to a remedy under the TCCWNA." Id. at 509, 181 A.3d 969. An aggrieved consumer, in contrast, must suffer some sort of harm or "adverse consequences" in order to assert a TCCWNA claim. Id. at 524, 181 A.3d 969.

In reaching this decision, the Court cautioned that while an "aggrieved consumer" must suffer some adverse consequences, there may be a case in which "a consumer may be entitled to a remedy notwithstanding the absence of proof of monetary damages." Id. at 523, 181 A.3d 969. The Court illustrated this by providing an example based on the facts of the case:

Id. However, the Court concluded that if "a consumer has entered into a sales contract containing a provision that violated N.J.A.C. 13:45A-5.3, but his or her furniture was delivered conforming and on schedule, and he or she has incurred no monetary damages or adverse consequences, that consumer has suffered no harm," and is, therefore, "not an `aggrieved consumer' under N.J.S.A. 56:12-17." Id.

Thus, the Spade-Wenger decision appears to dictate that Plaintiff, whose only alleged harm was entering into a gym membership contract containing an allegedly unlawful cancellation provision, is not an "aggrieved consumer" capable of obtaining relief under the TCCWNA. It is, as an initial matter, undisputed that Plaintiff has not suffered any monetary harm, which is the reason that the Court dismissed Plaintiff's parallel CFA claim in Truglio I:

Truglio I, 2016 WL 4084030, at *7. As Plaintiff has not renewed a monetary loss argument, and because her TCCWNA claim is premised on the same allegations as the CFA claim, this Court sees no reason why the monetary loss analysis should be different here.

Undeterred, Plaintiff offers two alternative arguments for why Spade-Wenger did not foreclose her TCCWNA claim. First, fixating on the fact that the decision left room for non-monetary-damage claims in certain contexts, Plaintiff contends that she suffered "adverse consequences," a phrase that, according to Plaintiff, includes "intangible harms, or informational injuries, such as a health club contract, like Defendants', that purports to be for only one year but contains a misleading cancellation policy that actually extends the New Jersey consumer's contract to more than one year." ECF No. 69 at 6. Yet this alleged harm is nothing like the examples highlighted in Spade-Wenger of non-monetary "adverse consequences" that might give rise to a TCCWNA claim. The compensable non-monetary claims Spade-Wenger envisions involve situations in which an unlawful contractual term caused the plaintiff some concrete harm, such as being deterred from obtaining a refund or not receiving the contracted-for goods. Here, the Amended Complaint merely alleges that Plaintiff entered into the gym membership contract containing an allegedly misleading cancelation provision, but contains no allegations of concrete harm, such as that Plaintiff wished or attempted to cancel her membership agreement but was prevented from doing so, or that the cancellation provision somehow impacted her ability to use the gym membership. Thus, Plaintiff did not suffer the harm required in order to be an "aggrieved consumer" capable of asserting a TCCWNA claim. See Patterson v. Forever 21, Inc., No. 16-05087, 2018 WL 5313920, at *5 (D.N.J. Oct. 26, 2018) (holding that disclaimer and indemnification provisions in contract to purchase women's apparel did not violate the TCWNNA because "like the plaintiffs in Spade, Plaintiff has not alleged that she was prevented from returning the items or otherwise pursuing any remedies relating to the purchased items or that Defendant attempted to enforce the T & C Provisions to Plaintiff's detriment").

Second, Plaintiff alternatively argues that her case is somehow distinguishable from Spade-Wenger because the plaintiffs there "ultimately received the furniture they contracted for" and did not suffer any economic consequences. ECF No. 69 at 6. However, here too, Plaintiff received what she contracted for—the gym membership —and also did not suffer the type of economic consequences necessary to assert a TCCWNA claim. Indeed, the import of Spade-Wenger extends far beyond its particular context: since the case was decided, various federal and state courts have relied on the decision in a variety of contexts to find that plaintiffs who similarly did not suffer any concrete, particularized harm were not "aggrieved consumers." See Patterson, 2018 WL 5313920, at *5; Wright v. Bank of Am., N.A., 456 N.J.Super. 328, 334, 194 A.3d 101 (App. Div. 2018) (remanding case and directing the plaintiff to file an amended complaint in case alleging that foreclosure intent notices violated the TCCWNA because plaintiff "could not identify the alleged harm he believes was caused by the pre-suit notices"); Duke v. All Am. Ford, Inc., No. A-0795-15T3, 2018 WL 3596274, at *7 (N.J. Super. Ct. App. Div. July 27, 2018) (dismissing putative class action complaints' TCCWNA claim because the "complaints do not allege that any plaintiff or any member of a putative class has suffered harm or an adverse consequence"). Thus, because Spade-Wenger dictates that Plaintiff is not an "aggrieved consumer," the remaining TCCWNA claim must fail.

IV. CONCLUSION

Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, Defendants' motion to dismiss Plaintiff's Amended Complaint is granted, and the case, is, therefore, dismissed.
