Mountain View, Calif. -- Google has agreed to pay $20 million to settle a class-action suit brought by several customers of its AdWords search advertising service, who among other claims alleged the Mountain View-based company breached contracts and falsely advertised. A federal court in San Jose has given preliminary approval to the settlement, which will be considered for final approval in September. The plaintiffs alleged that Google had been charging AdWords advertisers more than their per day daily budget. "The settlement is a great outcome for the class," said Steve Susman, of lead counsel Susman Godfrey.
