Summary

These Terms set out the rules for using Riot Games' services: you receive a limited, revocable license to play — you do not own any in-game content, and Riot Games can change or remove it at any time without notice. Nearly all disputes must go through private arbitration rather than court, and you cannot join a class action; if you want to opt out of arbitration, you have only 30 days from first accepting the Terms to do so. Refunds on Virtual Content purchases are not available unless Riot Games specifically allows them.

Analysis

Riot Games' Terms of Service establish the conditions under which users may access and use the Riot Services, granting a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license for individual, non-commercial entertainment purposes only. Users acquire no ownership or property interest in any Virtual Content, and Riot Games retains sole authority to delete, alter, remove, re-price, or transfer any Game Content at any time with or without notice. The Terms impose binding arbitration for nearly all claims, prohibit class or representative actions whether in arbitration or in court, and restrict the arbitrator from consolidating claims across users; users may opt out of arbitration only by submitting notice within 30 days of first accepting the Terms. Account creation requires users to be adults, emancipated minors, or to have valid parental or guardian consent, and account sharing, selling, or transfer in any form is prohibited. Riot Games may terminate or suspend accounts upon a reasonable determination of any breach, and refunds for Virtual Content licenses are unavailable except where Riot Games expressly permits them.

What this means for you

As a user, you hold no property rights in Virtual Content regardless of what you spent to obtain it, and Riot Games may alter or remove that content at any time without notice. Your account is personal and non-transferable — sharing or selling access is prohibited and can result in termination. The single time-sensitive action available to you is the arbitration opt-out: to preserve your right to bring claims in court rather than private arbitration, you must postmark or deposit your opt-out notice within 30 days of the date you first accepted the Terms.
