The clause allocates intellectual property rights by preserving user ownership while authorizing Riot Games broad operational rights over user-generated content. The non-exclusive nature permits users to license or use their content elsewhere, while the sublicensable grant enables Riot Games to permit third parties to exercise these rights.
Users retain ownership of their posted content but authorize Riot Games to modify, create derivative works from, and distribute their content without royalty payments. The irrevocable nature means this authorization cannot be revoked for content already created and posted under the terms.
