UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

BEFORE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 

In the Matter of 

DRIZLY, LLC, a Limited Liability Company, 

and 

JAMES CORY RELLAS, individually, and as an 

officer of DRIZLY, LLC. 

FILE NO. 202 3185

AGREEMENT CONTAINING 

CONSENT ORDER 

The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) has conducted an investigation of 

certain acts and practices of Drizly, LLC (“Proposed Corporate Respondent”) and James Cory 

Rellas (“Proposed Individual Respondent”) (collectively, “Proposed Respondents”). The 

Commission’s Bureau of Consumer Protection (“BCP”) has prepared a draft of an administrative 

Complaint (“draft Complaint”). BCP and Proposed Respondent enter into this Agreement 

Containing Consent Order (“Consent Agreement”) to resolve the allegations in the attached draft 

Complaint through a proposed Decision and Order to present to the Commission, which is also 

attached and made a part of this Consent Agreement. 

IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between Proposed Respondents and BCP, that: 

1. The Proposed Respondents are: 

a. Drizly, LLC (“Drizly”), a Delaware Limited Liability Company with its 

principal office or place of business at 501 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 

02216. 

b. James Cory Rellas, an officer of Drizly, who individually or in concert 

with others formulates, directs, or controls its policies, acts, or practices. 

His principal office or place of business is the same as that of Drizly. 

2. Proposed Respondents neither admit nor deny any of the allegations in the draft 

Complaint, except as specifically stated in the Decision and Order. Only for 

purposes of this action, Proposed Respondents admit the facts necessary to 

establish jurisdiction. 

3. Proposed Respondents waive: 

a. Any further procedural steps; 

Page 1 of 3 
b. The requirement that the Commission’s Decision contain a statement of 

findings of fact and conclusions of law; and 

c. All rights to seek judicial review or otherwise to challenge or contest the 

validity of the Decision and Order issued pursuant to this Consent 

Agreement. 

4. This Consent Agreement will not become part of the public record of the 

proceeding unless and until it is accepted by the Commission. If the Commission accepts this 

Consent Agreement, it, together with the draft Complaint, will be placed on the public record for 

30 days and information about them publicly released. Acceptance does not constitute final 

approval, but it serves as the basis for further actions leading to final disposition of the matter. 

Thereafter, the Commission may either withdraw its acceptance of this Consent Agreement and 

so notify Proposed Respondents, in which event the Commission will take such action as it may 

consider appropriate, or issue and serve its Complaint (in such form as the circumstances may 

require) and decision in disposition of the proceeding, which may include an Order. See Section 

2.34 of the Commission’s Rules, 16 C.F.R. § 2.34 (“Rule 2.34”). 

5. If this agreement is accepted by the Commission, and if such acceptance is not 

subsequently withdrawn by the Commission pursuant to Rule 2.34, the Commission may, 

without further notice to Proposed Respondents: (1) issue its Complaint corresponding in form 

and substance with the attached draft Complaint and its Decision and Order; and (2) make 

information about them public. Proposed Respondents agree that service of the Order may be 

effected by its publication on the Commission’s website (ftc.gov), at which time the Order will 

become final. See Rule 2.32(d). Proposed Respondents waive any rights they may have to any 

other manner of service. See Rule 4.4. 

6. When final, the Decision and Order will have the same force and effect and may 

be altered, modified, or set aside in the same manner and within the same time provided by 

statute for other Commission orders. 

7. The Complaint may be used in construing the terms of the Decision and Order. 

No agreement, understanding, representation, or interpretation not contained in the Decision and 

Order or in this Consent Agreement may be used to vary or contradict the terms of the Decision 

and Order. 

8. Each Proposed Respondent agrees to comply with the terms of the proposed 

Decision and Order from the date that Proposed Respondents sign this Consent Agreement. 

Proposed Respondents understand that they may be liable for civil penalties and other relief for 

each violation of the Decision and Order after it becomes final.
