What it is

Riot Games limits its total financial liability to you to $100 or the amount you paid them in the six months before the dispute, whichever is greater.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The cap creates a defined upper bound on financial exposure for Riot Games across all claim categories (breach, negligence, or other causes), which operates to limit the amount recoverable in disputes regardless of actual damages incurred.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision severely limits consumers' ability to recover meaningful compensation for harm caused by Riot Games, particularly for players who spend significant amounts on in-game purchases. It effectively insulates Riot from large financial claims arising from service failures, account bans, or data breaches.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Liability caps of this nature may be unenforceable under EU consumer law (Unfair Contract Terms Directive) and UK consumer rights legislation, which prohibit limitations on liability for breaches of statutory consumer rights. US-based compliance teams should also note that consumer protection statutes in some states may override contractual liability limitations.
