Limitation of Liability

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Even if Riot's actions cause you significant harm, they are legally responsible for no more than what you paid them in the last 90 days or $100 — whichever is higher — regardless of the actual damage you suffered.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This clause means that players with large account values built over years have virtually no meaningful financial recourse against Riot, even for serious harms like wrongful account termination, data breaches, or service failures — their recovery is capped at $100 or 90 days of spending.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

A player who has spent thousands of dollars on an account that is wrongfully banned can only recover a maximum of what they spent in the last three months or $100, leaving the vast majority of their loss uncompensated.

View original clause language
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Riot shall not be liable to you for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, even if Riot has been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Riot's total liability to you for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you have paid to Riot in the 90 days prior to the claim, or (b) $100.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Liability limitations in consumer contracts are subject to reasonableness review under state UDAP statutes and EU Directive 93/13/EEC (Unfair Contract Terms). California Civil Code §1668 voids contractual limitations on liability for fraud, willful injury, or violation of law. UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 (Section 65) prohibits contractual exclusion of liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, and Section 62 subjects consumer-facing limitation clauses to a fairness test. GDPR Art. 82 provides data subjects with a right to compensation for data protection breaches that cannot be contractually limited to $100. 2)
