OPINION AND ORDER
JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge:
The plaintiff, Reparata Mazzola (the “plaintiff’), brings this putative class action against Roomster Corporation (“Roomster”), and its founders and principal owners, John S. Shriber and Roman Zaks (collectively, the “defendants”). The plaintiff asserts claims for breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conversion, and violation of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civ. Code § 1770 et seq., and Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §§ 17200 et seq. and 17500 et seq. The defendants now move to dismiss the Second Amended Class Action Complaint pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6). In the alternative, the defendants move to strike the class allegations in the Complaint pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 12(f) and 23(d)(1)(D).
I.
On a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6), the allegations in the complaint are accepted as true, and all reasonable inferences must be drawn in favor of the plaintiff. McCarthy v. Dun & Bradstreet Corp., 482 F.3d 184, 191 (2d Cir.2007). The Court’s function on a motion to dismiss is “not to weigh the evidence that might be presented at a trial but merely to determine whether the complaint itself is legally sufficient.” Velez v. Levy, 401 F.3d 75, 80 (2d Cir.2005) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The Court should not dismiss the Complaint if the plaintiff has stated “enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007).
“A claim has facial plausibility when the plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009). While detailed factual allegations are not required, the pleading must include more than an “unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfully-harmed-me accusation,” “ ‘labels and conclusions,’ ” “ ‘a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action,’ ” or “ ‘naked asser[400]*400tion[s].’ ” Id. (alteration in original) (quoting Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, 557, 127 S.Ct. 1955). Accordingly, the basic principle that a court must accept all allegations as true is inapplicable to either legal conclusions or “mere conclusory statements.” Id. A court can thus begin its analysis of the sufficiency of pleadings “by identifying pleadings that, because they are no more than conclusions, are not entitled to the assumption of truth.” Id. at 1950. “When there are well-pleaded factual allegations, a court should assume their veracity and then determine whether they plausibly give rise to an entitlement to relief.” Id.
A claim that sounds in fraud must meet the heightened pleading standard of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 9(b). See Litwin v. Blackstone Grp., L.P., 634 F.3d 706, 715 (2d Cir.2011); Campbell v. Mark Hotel Sponsor, LLC, No. 09 Civ. 9644, 2010 WL 3466020, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 3, 2010). Rule 9(b) requires that the complaint “(1) specify the statements that the plaintiff contends were fraudulent, (2) identify the speaker, (3) state where and when the statements were made, and (4) explain why the statements were fraudulent.” ATSI Commc’ns, Inc. v. Shaar Fund, Ltd., 493 F.3d 87, 99 (2d Cir.2007).
When presented with a motion to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), the Court may consider documents that are referenced in the complaint, documents that the plaintiff relied on in bringing suit and that are either in the plaintiffs possession or that the plaintiff knew of when bringing suit, or matters of which judicial notice may be taken. See Chambers v. Time Warner, Inc., 282 F.3d 147, 153 (2d Cir.2002); SEC v. Rorech, 673 F.Supp.2d 217, 221 (S.D.N.Y.2009).
II.
The following assertions of fact are assumed to be true on this motion to dismiss.
Roomster Corporation owns and operates Roomster.com, an online roommate matching service whose principals are John S. Shriber and Roman Zaks. (Second Am. Class Action Compl. (“Second Am. Compl.”), at ¶¶ 5-8.) Roomster.com allows members to connect to each other to find roommates or rent apartments in a safe online environment. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 14.)
To use the features of Roomster.com, users must become members by providing personal information and confirming that they have read and agreed to Roomster’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. (Decl. of John S. Shriber in Supp. of Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss (“Shriber Deck”), at ¶¶ 9-11.) Users confirm their acceptance by checking a box next to the statement, “I affirm that I have read and agree to the Privacy Policy and Terms of [U]se.” (Shriber Deck Ex. C.) Embedded in the statement is a hyperlink to Roomster’s Terms of Use. (Shriber Deck ¶ 10.) The Terms of Use describe Roomster’s policies with respect to subscription fees and automatic renewals, as well as the procedure for closing an account or canceling a subscription. (Shriber Deck Ex. A ¶ 3.)
Once a user becomes a member, the user chooses between a Basic Membership and a Full Membership. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 15.) The Basic Membership is free and allows a member to search, post, and contact other members of the website. (Shriber Deck ¶ 6.) The Full Membership provides the same functions as the Basic Membership, as well as access to a secure private email account on the website. (Shriber Deck ¶ 6.) The cost of a Full Membership depends on the length of the subscription and varies from $5.95 for three days to $29.95 for four weeks. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 16.) Roomster has an automatic renewal policy, set out in its Terms of Use, under which Full Memberships are automatically renewed for thirty [401]*401days at a cost of $29.95 and continue to be renewed until the member cancels the member’s subscription. (Shriber Decl. ¶ 16.) If a member chooses a Full Membership, the member is directed to confirm again that the member has read and agreed to Roomster’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use before Roomster will charge the provided credit card. (Shriber Decl. ¶ 14.)
On September 28, 2009, the plaintiff became a member of Roomster.com. (Shriber Decl. Ex. C.) The plaintiff selected a Full Membership for three days, provided her credit card and billing information, and was charged $5.95. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 28-30.) Before the plaintiffs credit card was charged, she checked the box confirming that she had read and agreed to the Terms of Use. (Shriber Decl. Ex. C.) In accordance with the Terms of Use, Roomster charged the plaintiffs credit card $5.95 for her initial three day membership. Roomster subsequently charged the plaintiffs credit card $29.95 on October 2, November 2, and December 2, 2009. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 30-32.)
The plaintiff alleges that, in December 2009, she noticed the three $29.95 charges from Roomster on her credit card bill. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 33.) She alleges that she asked the credit card company to discontinue the charges and also tried to cancel her Roomster membership by following instructions posted on Roomster.com. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 33.) She alleges that she was unable to cancel her membership by following the instructions on Roomster.com, which directed her to click on the “close account” button under the “my account” tab on her logged in homepage. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 17, 33.) The Terms of Use agreement contains a different set of instructions, which requires users to “click the ‘Settings’ button located under the ‘Account’ tab” on the logged in homepage and then to “click on the ‘Subscription’ link and choose ‘Cancel my subscription.’” (Shriber Decl. ¶21.) The defendants claim that the plaintiff succeeded in having the charges on her credit card reversed. (Shriber Decl. ¶ 24; see also Shriber Decl. Ex. F.) The plaintiff alleges that the defendants did not cancel her membership, as she attempted to have done by using the website. Rather, the plaintiff alleges, the only way she was able to have her membership canceled was “to cancel her credit/debit card to avoid further charges.” (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 33.)
The plaintiff brought this action asserting claims for breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, conversion, and violation of the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civ.Code § 1770 et seq., and Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code §§ 17200 et seq. and 17500 et seq. The plaintiffs claims are based on her allegation that the defendants failed to disclose adequately the automatic renewal billing procedure and prevented her from canceling her Roomster membership.
III.
This action was brought in the Central District of California and transferred to this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).1
[402]*402A.
The defendants move to dismiss the plaintiffs First, Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth Claims for Relief, namely the plaintiffs breach of contract, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation claims, and her claims under the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act, Cal. Civ.Code § 1770 et seq., and Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code §§ 17200 et seq. and 17500 et seq. The defendants claim that the plaintiff has failed to allege any false representation or damages with respect to any of these claims.
1.
The defendants move to dismiss the plaintiffs breach of contract claim alleged in the First Claim for Relief. To plead a breach of contract under New York law, the plaintiff must allege four elements: “(1) the existence of a contract; (2) performance by the party seeking recovery; (3) nonperformance by the other party; and (4) damages attributable to the breach.” IMG Fragrance Brands, LLC v. Houbigant, Inc., 679 F.Supp.2d 395, 402 (S.D.N.Y.2009) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).2 The defendants contend that the plaintiff failed to establish the third and fourth elements of breach of contract.
The plaintiff has not established the third element of a breach of contract claim with respect to the automatic renewal billing procedure because she does not allege that the terms of the contract were breached. The nonperformance element of a breach of contract claim requires that “the complainant must plead the terms of the agreement upon which defendant’s liability rests.” Kaplan v. Aspen Knolls Corp., 290 F.Supp.2d 335, 337 (E.D.N.Y. 2003) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Here the plaintiff alleges that the defendants failed to disclose clearly the automatic renewal billing procedure, but this allegation does not state a claim for breach of contract. The plaintiff does not and cannot allege that the defendants failed to comply with any of the billing terms disclosed in the Terms of Use. Indeed, it appears that Roomster’s Terms of Use contain an accurate description of the automatic renewal procedure under Section 3, which is entitled “SUBSCRIPTION FEES AND AUTOMATIC RENEWALS.” (Shriber Decl. Ex. A ¶ 3.)3 The plaintiff does not allege that, by continuing to bill the plaintiff $29.95 each month until the plaintiff either canceled her subscription or her credit card, Roomster was doing anything other than complying with the automatic renewal term of its Terms of Use. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 29-32.) Thus, the plaintiff fails to state a claim for breach of contract with respect to the billing procedure because she does not allege that Roomster failed to comply with any of the terms disclosed in the contract.
The plaintiff does allege, however, that the defendants prevented her from [403]*403canceling her Roomster membership once she became aware that she had been billed multiple times. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 23, 33.) The plaintiff alleges that she followed the instructions on how to cancel her membership, but that the defendants prevented her from doing so. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 23, 33, 59.) While the defendants dispute these allegations, that dispute raises issues of fact that cannot be decided on a motion to dismiss. With respect to the cancellation issue, the plaintiff has stated a claim with respect to the third element of her breach of contract claim because the plaintiff has sufficiently alleged that the defendants breached their agreement, and prevented the plaintiff from canceling her membership and avoiding subsequent charges.
As with all claims, the defendants allege that the plaintiff suffered no damages from the alleged breach of contract because she paid for the additional membership fees with a credit card and the credit card charges were reversed. (Shriber Decl. ¶ 24.) The plaintiff is inconsistent in the Second Amended Complaint about whether she provided the defendants with a credit card or a debit card when she entered her billing information during the Roomster subscription signup process. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 28-30, 33.) In opposing the motion to dismiss, the plaintiff argued that she “was charged the fees to her debit card,” and so the fees were paid when the defendants debited her account and she lost the use of her money for some time. At this time, it is unclear whether the plaintiff provided a debit or credit card and, if a credit card, whether she paid the credit card bill. Further, it is unclear whether the plaintiff succeeded in having the charges reversed on either her debit or credit card, and what losses, if any, she suffered from the alleged failure of the defendants to cancel her membership when requested. This dispute raises issues of fact that cannot be resolved on this motion to dismiss.
2.
The defendants next move to dismiss the plaintiffs fraud claim, her Second Claim for Relief. To plead a claim for common law fraud under New York law, the plaintiff must allege four elements: “(1) the defendant made a material false representation, (2) the defendant intended to defraud the plaintiff thereby, (3) the plaintiff reasonably relied upon the representation, and (4) the plaintiff suffered damage as a result of such reliance.” Banque Arabe et Internationale D’Investissement v. Md. Nat. Bank, 57 F.3d 146, 153 (2d Cir.1995); GEM Advisors, Inc. v. Corporacion Sidenor, S.A., 667 F.Supp.2d 308, 332 (S.D.N.Y.2009).4
The plaintiffs allegations that the automatic renewal billing procedure was not adequately disclosed fail to state a claim for fraud because there is no allegation of a false representation. See Bezuszka v. L.A. Models, Inc., No. 04 Civ. 7703, 2006 WL 770526, at *13 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 24, 2006) (dismissing a fraud claim in part based on the plaintiffs’ failure to plead with particularity the alleged false representations). Although a false representation could occur through an omission, this is not a case in which the defendants failed to disclose material information that they had a duty to disclose. See GEM Advisors, 667 F.Supp.2d at 332 (“[I]nstead of an affirmative misrepresentation, a fraud cause of action may be predicated on acts of concealment where the defendant had a duty to disclose material information.” [404]*404(quoting Kaufman v. Cohen, 307 A.D.2d 113, 760 N.Y.S.2d 157, 165 (2003))). Instead, the defendants accurately disclosed the automatic renewal billing procedure in the Terms of Use, which the plaintiff twice stated that she accepted before being billed. (Shriber Decl. ¶¶ 11, 14.) Thus the plaintiff has failed to state a claim for fraud with respect to the billing procedure because she has not alleged that the defendants made a material misrepresentation.
As with the breach of contract claim, however, the plaintiff does allege that the defendants prevented her from canceling according to the instructions that they provided. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 23, 33, 67.) The plaintiff has sufficiently alleged that the defendants presented a knowingly false procedure for cancellation and then failed to comply with that represented means of cancellation. With respect to the cancellation issue, the plaintiff has stated a claim for fraud.
3.
The defendants move to dismiss the plaintiffs negligent misrepresentation claim, her Third Claim for Relief. To plead a claim for negligent misrepresentation under New York law, the plaintiff must allege five elements: “(1) the defendant had a duty, as a result of a special relationship, to give correct information; (2) the defendant made a false representation that he or she should have known was incorrect; (3) the information supplied in the representation was known by the defendant to be desired by the plaintiff for a serious purpose; (4) the plaintiff intended to rely and act upon it; and (5) the plaintiff reasonably relied on it to his or her detriment.” Hydro Investors, Inc. v. Trafalgar Power Inc., 227 F.3d 8, 20 (2d Cir. 2000); Amusement Indus., Inc. v. Stern, 786 F.Supp.2d 758, 778 (S.D.N.Y.2011).5
As with a claim for fraud, negligent misrepresentation requires a false representation. However, as discussed above with respect to the plaintiffs fraud claim, the plaintiff has failed to allege any false misrepresentation on the part of the defendants with respect to the automatic billing procedure. However, with respect to whether the defendants prevented the plaintiff from canceling her Roomster membership, the plaintiff has stated a claim for negligent misrepresentation. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 23, 33, 73.)
The defendants also move to dismiss the negligent misrepresentation claim in its entirety because the plaintiff has failed to allege the existence of a special relationship as required by New York law. The defendants concede that there is an actual conflict between New York and California law because California does not require a special relationship. (Defs.’ Memo, in Supp. of Mot. to Dismiss Second Am. Compl. at 17 n. 8.) However, the defendants urge the Court to apply New York choice of law rules and to apply New York law. See Amusement Indus., Inc. v. Stern, 693 F.Supp.2d 327, 339-41 (S.D.N.Y.2010) (applying New York choice of law rules to hold that New York negligent misrepresentation law applies because most of the conduct occurred in New York); but see Intellivision v. Microsoft Corp., No. 07 Civ. 4079, 2008 WL 3884382, at *5-6 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 20, 2008) (applying New York choice of law rules to hold that Connecticut negligent misrepresentation law applies because the loss was incurred in Connecticut). However, because this diversity action was transferred to this Court from California, California choice of [405]*405law rules must be applied. See Van Du-sen v. Barrack, 376 U.S. 612, 639, 84 S.Ct. 805, 11 L.Ed.2d 945 (1964). Because the parties have not briefed California choice of law rules with respect to this claim, the defendants have not shown that a special relationship is required for this cause of action. Therefore, the defendants have not shown at this time that the claim of negligent misrepresentation should be dismissed because of the alleged absence of such a relationship.
4.
The defendants next move to dismiss the plaintiffs Fifth Claim for Relief, namely her claim under the California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (the “CLRA”), Cal. Civ.Code §§ 1770 et seq. The CLRA prohibits “unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices” that are “intended to result or which result[ ] in the sale or lease of goods or services to any consumer.... ” Cal. Civ.Code § 1770(a). In particular, the relevant portions of the CLRA prohibit:
Representing that goods or services have ... characteristics ... which they do not have....
Advertising goods or services with intent not to sell them as advertised.... Representing that a transaction confers or involves rights, remedies, or obligations which it does not have or involve ....
Representing that the subject of a transaction has been supplied in accordance with a previous representation when it has not .... [and]
Inserting an unconscionable provision in the contract.
Cal. Civ.Code §§ 1770(a)(5), (9), (14), (16), (19).
The defendants object to the plaintiffs allegations of CLRA violations to the extent that the plaintiff seeks relief under the CLRA beyond injunctive relief because there is a notice requirement for a damages claim that the plaintiff allegedly failed to satisfy. “Thirty days or more prior to the commencement of an action for damages” under the CLRA, a plaintiff must notify the defendant of the particular alleged violations of § 1770(a) and demand that the defendant correct the violations. Cal. Civ.Code § 1782(a). It is uncontested that the plaintiff here did not comply with the notice requirement, and therefore she may not seek damages under the CLRA. In addition to injunctive relief, the plaintiff also seeks punitive damages under the CLRA. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 86.) However, punitive damages also are barred when the plaintiff does not comply with the notice requirement in § 1782(a). See Util. Consumers’ Action Network v. Sprint Solutions, Inc., No. 07 Civ. 2231, 2008 WL 1946859, at *9 (S.D.Cal. Apr. 25, 2008) (dismissing punitive damages claim because the plaintiff failed to comply with the CLRA’s notice provision for damages actions). Therefore the plaintiffs CLRA claims are dismissed to the extent that they seek any relief other than injunctive relief.
The plaintiff alleges that the defendants violated the CLRA “by uniformly and affirmatively representing that [the] consumer could purchase a 3-day membership for $5.95, a two-week membership for $14.95, and a four-week membership for $29.95, when that is not true.” (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 83.) This allegation does not suffice to state a claim for relief under the CLRA because there is no adequate allegation that the defendants’ representation was false.
Sections 1770(a)(5), (9), (14) and (16) require a plaintiff to allege either an affirmative misrepresentation or a material omission. See Nelson v. Pearson Ford Co., 186 Cal.App.4th 983, 112 Cal.Rptr.3d 607, 638 (2010) (“[Although a claim may be stated under the CLRA in [406]*406terms constituting fraudulent omissions, to be actionable the omission must be contrary to a representation actually made by the defendant, or an omission of a fact the defendant was obliged to disclose.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); Pokrass v. DirecTV Grp., Inc., No. Civ. 07-423, 2008 WL 2897084, at *4 (C.D.Cal. July 14, 2008) (discussing how a court may infer reliance from a material misrepresentation or omission). To state a claim for a CLRA violation, a plaintiff must allege that “a reasonable consumer is likely to be deceived.... ” Ford v. Hotwire, Inc., No. 07 Civ. 1312, 2008 WL 5874305, at *5 (S.D.Cal. Feb. 25, 2008). A plaintiff can state a claim based on misleading representations about billing practices. See Parino v. BidRack, Inc., 838 F.Supp.2d 900, 903-04, 905-06, No. 11 Civ. 3149, 2011 WL 4479462, at *1, *3 (N.D.Cal. Sept. 26, 2011) (holding that the plaintiff sufficiently pleaded a CLRA violation when she was not required to accept Terms of Use and the defendant’s affirmative misrepresentations led her to believe registration was free, when in fact she was charged $99); Clerkin v. MyLife.com, Inc., No. 11 Civ. 527, 2011 WL 3607496, at *6 (N.D.Cal. Aug. 16, 2011) (holding that the plaintiffs adequately alleged a CLRA violation when their credit cards were billed for a subscription different from the one for which they signed up). By contrast, when a website’s Terms of Use, to which a subscriber or purchaser must agree, disclose billing practices, those practices are adequately disclosed when a reasonable consumer would not likely be deceived. See Hotwire, 2008 WL 5874305, at *2-5 (holding that a reasonable consumer would not be deceived when customers must indicate that they “have read, understood, and accept” a website’s Terms of Use that discloses that additional fees will apply).
The plaintiff has failed to allege adequately a claim under sections 1770(a)(5), (9), (14) or (16). The plaintiff has not alleged that the defendants made a misrepresentation or an omission contrary to an affirmative representation because the plaintiff has conceded that the defendants disclosed the automatic renewal billing procedure. As in Hotwire, there was no misrepresentation or omission because the defendants accurately represented the billing practices in a Terms of Use agreement that the plaintiff indicated she read and accepted. A reasonable consumer would not be deceived about how Roomster intended to bill after having read and accepted the Terms of Use. See Hotwire, 2008 WL 5874305, at *3-4.
Section 1770(a)(19) prohibits the inclusion of unconscionable provisions in contracts, and under California law a provision must be both procedurally and substantively unconscionable to be considered unconscionable. Pokrass, 2008 WL 2897084, at *6; see also Armendariz v. Found. Health Psychcare Servs., Inc., 24 Cal.4th 83, 99 Cal.Rptr.2d 745, 6 P.3d 669, 690 (2000) (“The prevailing view is that procedural and substantive unconscionability must both be present in order for a court to exercise its discretion to refuse to enforce a contract or clause under the doctrine of unconscionability.” (internal quotation marks and alterations omitted)).
Although the plaintiff cites § 1770(a)(19), the unconscionability prohibition of the CLRA, in the Second Amended Complaint, she does not identify any specific provisions of her contract with Roomster that she alleges are unconscionable. In any event, the contract for a full membership in the Roomster website is not unconscionable. Under California law, contracts that “concern! ] a nonessential activity” cannot be procedurally unconscionable because “the consumer always has the option of simply forgoing the activity.” Pokrass, 2008 WL 2897084, at *6 (internal quotation marks and citation [407]*407omitted). A full membership subscription to Roomster is a nonessential activity because members may choose a free basic membership subscription or choose not to use the website at all. Cf. id. (explaining that a cable television subscription is nonessential because the same recreational service may be obtained free online or may be forgone altogether). Moreover, the existence of market alternatives, such as a basic membership to Roomster or the use of other social websites, indicates that the full subscription to Roomster is hardly an essential activity.
It is possible that by incorporating other allegations from the Complaint into her claim for relief under the CLRA, (see Second. Am. Compl. ¶ 81), the plaintiff is incorporating the allegations about the allegedly deceptive description about the cancellation procedure into her CLRA claim. For the reasons discussed above, the plaintiffs claims of violations of §§ 1770(a)(5), (9), (14), and (16) based on the allegedly deceptive cancellation procedure cannot be dismissed to the extent that they are alleged as a basis for injunctive relief.
5.
The defendants move to dismiss the plaintiffs Sixth Claim for Relief, namely her claims under the California Unfair Competition Law (the “UCL”), Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code §§ 17200 et seq., and the California False Advertising Law (the “FAL”), Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code §§ 17500 et seq. The UCL prohibits “unlawful, unfair [and] fraudulent business aet[s] or practice[s].” Id. § 17200. The FAL prohibits the inclusion of “untrue or misleading” statements in advertising. Id. § 17500.
To plead adequately an unlawful business practice under the UCL, the plaintiff must allege the violation of another California law. See, e.g., Smith v. Ford Motor Co., 462 Fed.Appx. 660, 665 (9th Cir.2011) (“The unlawful conduct prong of the UCL is derivative of other California laws, including the CLRA....”); Sybersound Records, Inc. v. UAV Corp., 517 F.3d 1137, 1151 (9th Cir.2008) (“Unlawful acts are anything that can properly be called a business practice and that at the same time is forbidden by law .... ” (internal quotation marks omitted)). As discussed above, the plaintiff has failed to allege adequately a violation of the CLRA with respect to the automatic renewal billing procedure, but she has stated a violation of the CLRA, and thus also an unlawful business practice under the UCL, with respect to whether the defendants prevented her from canceling her membership.
California appellate courts disagree about how to define an unfair business practice in the context of a consumer action under the UCL. See Rubio v. Capital One Bank, 613 F.3d 1195, 1204-05 (9th Cir.2010) (“California appellate courts disagree on how to define an ‘unfair’ act or practice in the context of a UCL consumer action.”); Lozano v. AT & T Wireless Servs., Inc., 504 F.3d 718, 735-36 (9th Cir. 2007). Some courts use a balancing test, under which “a business practice is unfair ‘if it is immoral, unethical, oppressive or unscrupulous and causes injury to consumers which outweighs its benefits.’ ” Ferrington v. McAfee, Inc., No. 10 Civ. 1455, 2010 WL 3910169, at *13 (N.D.Cal. Oct. 5, 2010) (quoting McKell v. Wash. Mut., Inc., 142 Cal.App.4th 1457, 49 Cal.Rptr.3d 227, 240 (2006)). Other courts require the plaintiff to demonstrate that the business “practice violates public policy as declared by specific constitutional, statutory, or regulatory provisions,” for it to be unfair. Rubio, 613 F.3d at 1205 (internal quotation marks omitted).
Under either test, the automatic billing procedure is not an unfair business practice. With respect to the balancing [408]*408test, the billing procedure causes no harm to consumers who read the disclosed terms of use, and any potential harm to consumers who do not read the terms is outweighed by the utility of the practice, which ensures that consumers with Full Memberships to Roomster do not have their full access to the website interrupted. Cf. Ferrington, 2010 WL 3910169, at *13 (balancing test was satisfied when business practice was likely to deceive consumers, and the deception might be “unscrupulous”). Under the alternative test, the plaintiff has not identified any legislatively declared public policy that she claims the automatic billing procedure violates and, as discussed above, the billing procedure does not violate any law because it is not deceptive. See Van Slyke v. Capital One Bank, No. 07 Civ. 00671, 2007 WL 3343943, at *11 (N.D.Cal. Nov. 7, 2007). Thus the plaintiff has failed to state an unfair business practice claim with regard to the billing procedure.
Under either test, the defendants’ alleged refusal to allow the plaintiff to cancel her membership is an unfair business practice. Under the balancing test, consumers may be harmed by the allegedly deceptive cancellation procedure, because the defendants’ alleged refusal to permit cancellations would result in consumers continuing to be charged after they attempt to cancel or requiring consumers to cancel their credit card to avoid charges. No benefit outweighs this alleged harm to consumers, and thus the plaintiff has alleged adequately a claim that the defendants’ alleged refusal to follow their cancellation procedure is an unfair business practice. See Fraley v. Face-book, Inc., 830 F.Supp.2d 785, 813-14 (N.D.Cal.2011) (plaintiff adequately stated unfair business practice claim when no benefit outweighed alleged harm from defendants’ alleged misappropriation). The plaintiff also has stated adequately a claim under the alternative test, because she adequately alleged that the cancellation procedure violated established public policy as it is codified in the CLRA. See Mlejnecky v. Olympus Imaging Am. Inc., No. 10 Civ. 02630, 2011 WL 1497096, at *7 (E.D.Cal. Apr. 19, 2011). Thus the plaintiff has stated a claim that the defendants’ alleged refusal to permit the plaintiff to cancel her membership is an unfair business practice under the UCL.
To plead adequately a fraudulent business practice, the plaintiff must allege that “ ‘members of the public are likely to be deceived’ by the alleged practices.” Smith, 462 Fed.Appx. at 664 (quoting Bardin v. Daimlerchrysler Corp., 136 Cal. App.4th 1255, 39 Cal.Rptr.3d 634, 647 (2006)); see also Hotwire, 2008 WL 5874305, at *3. For the reasons explained above, the plaintiff has failed to allege a fraudulent business practice with respect to the billing procedure, but she has alleged such a practice with respect to the allegedly deceptive cancellation procedure.
The FAL prohibits “any person, firm, corporation or association, or any employee thereof with intent directly or indirectly to dispose of real or personal property or to perform services” to disseminate any statement concerning the property or services “which is untrue or misleading, and which is known, or which by the exercise of reasonable care should be known, to be untrue or misleading.” Cal. Bus. & Prof.Code § 17500. A plaintiffs claim under the FAL is subject to a “reasonable consumer” test, under which the plaintiff “must show that members of the public are likely to be deceived.” Williams v. Gerber Prods. Co., 552 F.3d 934, 938 (9th Cir.2008) (internal quotation marks omitted); Hotwire, 2008 WL 5874305, at *3. For the reasons discussed above, the plaintiff has not alleged adequately a violation of the FAL with respect to the billing procedure, because a reasonable consumer would not be deceived by [409]*409the disclosed billing procedure. However, the plaintiffs allegations that the defendants made false and misleading statements about the cancellation procedure and then allegedly prevented the plaintiff from canceling her membership would deceive a reasonable consumer. The plaintiff has alleged adequately a violation of the FAL with respect to the defendants’ alleged failure to permit the plaintiff to cancel her membership.
B.
The defendants move to dismiss the plaintiffs Fourth Claim for Relief, namely her conversion claim. Under New York law, “[cjonversion occurs when a defendant exercises unauthorized dominion over personal property in interference with a plaintiffs legal title or superior right of possession.” LoPresti v. Terwilliger, 126 F.3d 34, 41 (2d Cir.1997) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). The plaintiff alleges that the defendants committed conversion by debiting her debit card $29.95 three times without her permission. However, an action for conversion of money only exists when “there is a specific, identifiable fund and an obligation to return or otherwise treat in a particular manner the specific fund in question.” Kirschner v. Bennett, 648 F.Supp.2d 525, 540 (S.D.N.Y.2009) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).6
To maintain a claim for conversion, the plaintiff must allege the existence of a specific, identifiable fund of money that is in the defendants’ control and belongs to the plaintiff. Here the plaintiff has not adequately alleged the existence of a specific fund of money. Instead, she generally alleges that the “[defendants intentionally converted, interfered with and exercised dominion and control” over her money. (Second Am. Compl. ¶ 77.) The plaintiff does not allege that the defendants had a specific fund of money that belonged to her.7 Because the plaintiff seeks the return of the money charged to her debit card, and does not “claim ownership of a ‘specifically identifiable, segregated’ ” fund, she has failed to allege adequately a claim for conversion. High View Fund, L.P. v. Hall, 27 F.Supp.2d 420, 429 (S.D.N.Y.1998) (quoting Mfrs. Hanover Trust Co. v. Chem. Bank, 160 A.D.2d 113, 559 N.Y.S.2d 704, 712 (1990)); see also Interior by Mussa, Ltd. v. Town of Huntington, 174 Misc.2d 308, 664 N.Y.S.2d 970, 972 (N.Y.Sup.App.Term 1997) (holding that the plaintiff failed to allege adequately a claim for conversion when “[the] complaint only [sought] the return of a sum paid to defendant”). Thus the plaintiff has failed to state a claim for conversion because she can point to no specific fund to which she has legal title or a superior right to possession. The motion to dismiss the plaintiffs conversion claim thus is granted.
IV.
The defendants also move to strike the plaintiffs class allegations under Rule 12(f) [410]*410of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The defendants claim that the proposed class definition requires a merits determination and that the membership determinations would require numerous individualized inquiries.8
“Motions to strike are generally disfavored, and should be granted only when there is a strong reason for doing so.” In re Tronox Sec. Litig., No. 09 Civ. 6220, 2010 WL 2835545, at *4 (S.D.N.Y. June 28, 2010). Moreover, “[a] motion to strike class allegations ... is even more disfavored because it requires a reviewing court to preemptively terminate the class aspects of ... litigation, solely on the basis of what is alleged in the complaint, and before plaintiffs are permitted to complete the discovery to which they would otherwise be entitled on questions relevant to class certification.” Chenensky v. N.Y. Life Ins. Co., No. 07 Civ. 11504, 2011 WL 1795305, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Apr. 27, 2011) (quoting Ironforge.com v. Paychex, Inc., 747 F.Supp.2d 384, 404 (W.D.N.Y.2010)). Accordingly, district courts in this Circuit have frequently found that a determination of whether the Rule 23 requirements are met is more properly deferred to the class certification stage, when a more complete factual record can aid the Court in making this determination. See, e.g., Chenensky, 2011 WL 1795305, at *4; Ironforge, 747 F.Supp.2d at 404; Cohen v. Gerson Lehrman Grp., Inc., 686 F.Supp.2d 317, 324 (S.D.N.Y.2010); Ruggles v. Wellpoint, Inc., 253 F.R.D. 61, 67 (N.D.N.Y.2008).
In this case, as well, the defendants’ motion to strike the plaintiffs class allegations is premature and depends in part upon the outcome of discovery as to the plaintiffs allegations about cancellation and damages. Moreover, the scope of this action has already been substantially narrowed because the plaintiffs claims relating to Roomster’s billing procedures have been dismissed. The motion to strike the class allegations should await a decision on class certification when the Court would have the benefit of a full factual record and can better assess the defendants’ arguments. The defendants’ motion to strike is therefore denied without prejudice to renewal after a period of preliminary discovery or in opposition to class certification.
y.
The individual defendants also move to dismiss the plaintiffs allegations of alter ego liability against them on the remaining claims.
Under New York law, a plaintiff may “pierce the corporate veil” by showing that: “(1) [the owner] ha[s] exercised such control that the [corporation] has become a mere instrumentality of the [owner], which is the real actor; (2) such control has been used to commit a fraud or other wrong; and (3) the fraud or wrong results in an unjust loss or injury to plaintiff.” Freeman v. Complex Computing Co., Inc., 119 F.3d 1044, 1052 (2d Cir.1997) (alterations in original and internal quota[411]*411tion marks omitted); see also EED Holdings v. Palmer Johnson Acquisition Corp., 387 F.Supp.2d 265, 273 (S.D.N.Y.2004); Network Enters., Inc. v. APBA Offshore Prods., Inc., No. 01 CV 11765, 2002 WL 31050846, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 12, 2002). New York law also allows piercing the corporate veil “when the corporation [h]as been so dominated by an individual ... and its separate identity so disregarded, that it primarily transacted the dominator’s business rather than its own and can be called the other’s alter ego.” Network Enters., 2002 WL 31050846, at *3 (internal quotation marks omitted). Even when the veil-piercing theory is based on domination, the control must be used “to perpetrate a fraud or other wrong.” Freeman, 119 F.3d at 1053.
The plaintiff argues that the individual defendants, Zaks and Shriber, should be liable under alter ego liability because Roomster is their alter ego. To support this argument, the plaintiff alleges that Roomster is inadequately capitalized and staffed, lacks a registered agent for service of process, lacks a physical address, and has an unusually high charge-back rate. (Second Am. Compl. ¶¶ 7-8.) The plaintiff alleges that Roomster and the individual defendants have such a unity of interest that they are indistinguishable and that Roomster is a sham corporation used to run a fraud against the public. While these indicia of alter ego liability may not ultimately suffice to establish alter ego liability, they are enough to justify limited discovery to determine whether the individual defendants are the alter egos of Roomster. See JSC Foreign Econ. Ass’n Technostroyexport v. Int’l Dev. & Trade Servs., Inc., 295 F.Supp.2d 366, 379 (S.D.N.Y.2003) (plaintiffs allegations regarding individual’s alleged control over company sufficed to allow alter ego allegation to survive motion to dismiss); Maltz v. Union Carbide Chems. & Plastics Co., Inc., 992 F.Supp. 286, 303 (S.D.N.Y.1998) (plaintiffs allegations regarding parent corporation’s alleged control over subsidiary sufficed to allow alter ego allegation to survive motion to dismiss). Therefore the motion to dismiss the allegations of alter ego liability is denied without prejudice.
CONCLUSION
The Court has considered all of the arguments of the parties. To the extent not specifically addressed above, they are either moot or without merit. For the reasons explained above, the motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim is granted in part and denied in part.
The claim for conversion is dismissed. The remaining claims are dismissed to the extent that the plaintiffs claims rely on the alleged failure of the defendants to disclose adequately the automatic renewal billing procedure. To the extent that the plaintiffs remaining claims rely on the defendants’ alleged refusal to allow the plaintiff to cancel her membership, the motion to dismiss is denied without prejudice. The motion to dismiss the individual defendants is also denied without prejudice.
There will be a period of expedited discovery on the issues of whether the plaintiff attempted to cancel her membership, whether the defendants refused to allow the plaintiff to cancel her membership, whether the plaintiff suffered damages, and whether the individual defendants are the alter egos of Roomster. Expedited discovery is to be completed within sixty (60) days. The defendants’ motion to strike the class allegations is denied without prejudice to renewal after the limited discovery period, or in opposition to any motion for class action certification.
To the extent that any claims are dismissed, they are dismissed with prejudice because the plaintiff has already had an opportunity to amend her complaint. In[412]*412deed, the Second Amended Complaint was filed after an initial motion to dismiss had been filed and the Court instructed that any dismissal would be with prejudice. See Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank v. Morgan Stanley & Co., No. 08 Civ. 7508, 2009 WL 3346674, at *2 & n. 14 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 15, 2009) (dismissal appropriate after plaintiff has opportunity to amend and amended complaint fails to correct deficiencies) (collecting cases).
The Clerk is directed to close Docket No. 38.
