What it is

Riot Games reserves the right to change these Terms of Service at any time, and continued use of their services after changes are made constitutes your acceptance of the new terms.

This analysis describes what Riot Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes a unilateral modification mechanism that permits the service provider to alter governing terms without requiring user consent or separate agreement, with notice as the sole procedural requirement.

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.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Unilateral modification clauses present enforceability risk in EU jurisdictions under the Unfair Contract Terms Directive, which requires material changes to be clearly communicated and consented to. Compliance teams should assess whether Riot's notification practices satisfy applicable regulatory standards in each market.
