Reviewed fields
For each field: the reviewer's category, then the words of the captured document. Where the category is silent, no provision on that field was extracted from the captured text, and nothing is quoted. Every category, with its count, is listed on the data page.
Delegation clause (who decides whether the clause is enforceable)
Reviewed category: to-arbitrator-except-class-waiver
The arbitrator shall decide all issues in dispute between you and Riot Games, including issues of arbitrability and the existence, scope, validity, and enforceability of these arbitration terms. This means that—unless something else in these Terms expressly say a court will decide an issue—any disputes we have over whether the arbitration requirement applies to your Claim or about whether some or all of this arbitration agreement is valid and enforceable, the arbitrator (and not a court) will decide that dispute. ... Some claims are exempt from this arbitration requirement. The exceptions are: ... (7) the enforceability of the requirement that arbitrations must be conducted on an individual rather than a class basis.
Company’s fee promise
Reviewed category: pays-only-if-company-initiates
If we initiate an arbitration against you, we will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee.
Fee or cost shifting against the consumer
Reviewed category: offer-of-judgment-cost-shift
If the Offer of Judgment is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) days of when it was made (whichever is first), and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award from the arbitrator, then to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law and the Rules, the party that declined the offer shall not be entitled to recover their post-offer costs and has to pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the Offer of Judgment.
Pre-filing requirement
Reviewed category: mandatory-condition-precedent
You and Riot Games will attempt to resolve the Claim through informal negotiation for sixty (60) days beginning from the date the Notice of Claim is sent. If the negotiation fails, you or Riot Games may then commence an arbitration proceeding for that Claim by filing a demand for arbitration. You and Riot Games agree that if either of us proceeds to arbitration without first having sent a compliance Notice of Claim and negotiating in good faith to resolve the Claim, a court may enter injunctive relief to enforce the pre-filing requirements of this section, including an injunction to stay an arbitration that has been commenced in violation of this section.
Mass-arbitration terms
Reviewed category: bellwether-then-release-to-court
If 25 or more Notices of Claims are sent that raise similar Claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, these will be considered “ Mass Arbitration Cases ” ... If the mediation does not yield a global resolution, this arbitration requirement shall no longer apply to remaining Mass Arbitration Cases. Such remaining Claims may be filed only in the state courts in Los Angeles County, California, or if federal jurisdiction exists, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California
Small-claims carve-out
Reviewed category: available-standard-carve-out
Some claims are exempt from this arbitration requirement. The exceptions are: (1) claims that can be brought as individual actions in small-claims court
Opt-out
Reviewed category: general-but-class-waiver-survives
Although an opt-out request will allow you to bring Claims in court on an individual basis (subject to the Terms’ venue provisions), the Class Action Waiver will still apply to you to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law.
Unilateral modification
Reviewed category: consent-required-for-changes
We may (and probably will) create updated versions of these Terms in the future, as the Riot Services and applicable laws and regulations evolve. When we do, we’ll inform you of the new Terms which will supersede and replace these Terms in writing (e-mail is sufficient). You’ll be given reasonable time and opportunity to review any new Terms we present to you and decide whether you wish to agree to the revised Terms. If you accept the new Terms, you’ll be able to continue using the Riot Services. If you refuse the new Terms, you won’t be able to use the Riot Services anymore.
Scope
Reviewed category: binds-parent-and-minor
If you are the parent or legal guardian of a minor who creates an account with us, you and the minor accept and agree to be bound by these Terms. You are also responsible for all use of the account and compliance with these Terms by the minor, including all purchases made on the account.

The sole exception is that if the prohibition on class arbitrations is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, you and Riot Games agree that this entire Section 16—except the Class Action Waiver below (unless that section is itself found invalid) will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court
