Key findings
Summary
Riot's terms are largely standard for the gaming industry: broad content and virtual goods licenses, discretionary account termination, and a detailed mandatory arbitration clause with a class-action waiver, though it includes a 30-day opt-out and small claims carveout. Data collection is fairly extensive (chat logs, gameplay, device data, anti-cheat monitoring) but the company states it does not sell personal data or collect sensitive info. Virtual goods and game currency purchases carry no ownership rights and are generally non-refundable once accessed.

User-generated content is licensed to Riot on a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable basis for providing the Riot Services, a broad but common license structure, while Virtual Content itself is licensed (not owned) by users.
From: USER GENERATED CONTENTYou grant us, from the time of uploading or transmission of Your Content, a worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, sublicenseable, non-exclusive and royalty-free right and license to use, reproduce, distribute, adapt, modify, translate, create derivative works based upon, publicly perform, publicly display, digitally perform, make, have made, and import Your Content...for the purpose of providing the Riot Services without any compensation to you.
Riot may suspend or terminate accounts at its discretion for policy violations, community interest, or business reasons, generally without refunds for cause-based terminations, though notice is given for inactivity-based terminations.
From: ACCOUNT TERMINATIONWhere we terminate for cause (e.g. where you have breached these Terms): you'll not be entitled to any refunds and we'll have no liability to you; and we also reserve the right to terminate any other accounts you may have created, as well as your access to any other Riot Services (also without any refunds or liability to you).
Mandatory binding arbitration with class-action waiver applies to U.S. users, but includes a small claims court carveout, a 30-day opt-out right, and informal dispute resolution requirements before filing.
From: DISPUTE RESOLUTIONAny Claim that you or Riot Games has against the other, unless that Claim is expressly exempted from this arbitration requirement, shall be resolved exclusively by private, binding arbitration, rather than in court.
Purchases of Virtual Content are generally non-refundable once accessed or downloaded, consistent with standard digital goods policies, though exceptions and consumer law rights are acknowledged.
From: TERMS OF SERVICEYou lose the right to change your mind, cancel the order and get a refund if you get immediate access to or download your digital content. There are some exceptions to this rule, but we have a strict policy on refunds.View source document
