Class Action Waiver

Why it matters

Class actions allow many consumers to pool resources and take on large corporations together; waiving this right means each player must fight individually, which is often impractical for small financial disputes.

Consumer impact

Riot Games' Terms of Service significantly limit consumer rights by requiring mandatory individual arbitration and waiving the right to participate in class action lawsuits. Players have no ownership rights over virtual items or currency purchased, and Riot can terminate accounts or discontinue services at any time without refunds. You can opt out of the arbitration clause by sending written notice to Riot Games within 30 days of first accepting the Terms of Service.
