Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Consumers may inadvertently accept new, less favorable terms simply by continuing to use Riot's games after a terms update, without necessarily being fully aware of what has changed. Players should monitor Riot's communications about terms updates and review changes carefully before continuing use.
