Terms and Conditions

1. Agreement to these terms

By accessing or using the Riftbot website, card market, accounts, AI chat, or related features (together, the “Service”), you agree to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) and acknowledge the Privacy Policy and Cookie Notice. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you use the Service for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization, and “you” includes that organization. The Service is not directed to children under 13. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, you may use it only with permission from a parent or legal guardian.

2. What Riftbot provides

Riftbot is an independent fan-made information service for Riftbound players. It provides conversational answers, citations, rules and card references, deck context, market data, watchlist tools, and links to third-party sources and marketplaces.

Riftbot is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or an official product of Riot Games or any Riftbound publisher, rights holder, tournament organizer, marketplace, or data provider. Names, artwork, game materials, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

3. Accounts

You may sign in through Google to sync a watchlist and use account-based features. You agree to provide accurate information through the sign-in provider, keep control of the account and devices you use, and promptly report suspected unauthorized access. You may not sell, transfer, or share access to an account in a way that compromises the Service or another person’s information.

You may revoke Riftbot’s Google access through Google, but revocation does not by itself delete information already held by Riftbot. To close an account and request deletion, email chase@riftbot.ai from the account email. Closing an account removes access to its synced watchlist. Some records may remain where reasonably required for security, disputes, legal compliance, backups, or the retention practices described in the Privacy Policy.

The operator may suspend or close an account when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, users, or third parties, or when these Terms are materially violated.

4. AI answers and game information

Riftbot uses artificial intelligence. Answers can be inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, misleading, or based on a misunderstood question even when they include citations. You are responsible for checking important information against the cited source and the most current official rules, errata, tournament policy, and organizer decisions.

Riftbot does not act as a judge or tournament official. An official tournament organizer or judge may interpret or apply rules differently, and their ruling controls at their event. Do not rely on Riftbot as the sole basis for a competitive, financial, legal, or other consequential decision.

5. Market data and affiliate links

Prices, listings, sales, trends, availability, grading information, and timestamps are informational estimates assembled from third-party sources. They can be delayed, incomplete, mismatched to a printing or condition, affected by thin markets, or changed without notice. A displayed price is not an appraisal, guaranteed sale price, offer, investment recommendation, or financial advice.

Before buying, selling, trading, grading, or insuring an item, verify its identity, language, set, collector number, condition, authenticity, fees, shipping, taxes, and the current listing on the relevant marketplace. Riftbot does not process marketplace purchases, hold funds, take custody of cards, or control a third-party transaction.

Some links may be affiliate links. The operator may receive a commission if you follow a link and complete a qualifying transaction, at no additional cost to you. Affiliate compensation does not guarantee the accuracy, availability, or suitability of a listing.

Riftbot uses Impact to prepare eligible affiliate links and attribute impressions and qualifying activity. Affiliate links and this integration operate independently of your optional product-analytics choice. See the Cookie Notice and Privacy Policy for details.

6. Acceptable use

You may not use the Service to:

• break a law, regulation, court order, or another person’s rights;
• submit unlawful, infringing, deceptive, threatening, or abusive material;
• seek or distribute credentials, private personal data, malware, or harmful code;
• interfere with security, authentication, request limits, or Service operation;
• probe, scan, scrape, crawl, copy, or access the Service through automation in a way that creates unreasonable load or bypasses an available interface or restriction;
• reverse engineer or attempt to extract non-public systems, prompts, or data;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent affiliation with Riftbot;
• use output to deceive others about its source, certainty, or official status; or
• help another person do any of the above.

The operator may apply technical limits, reject requests, remove access, or block activity that reasonably appears abusive, unsafe, unlawful, or disruptive.

7. Your submissions

You retain any rights you have in text or feedback you submit. You grant the operator a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, reproduce, transmit, process, adapt, and analyze that material only as reasonably necessary to operate, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service and to comply with law. This license lasts for as long as the material is retained for those purposes.

You represent that you have the rights needed to submit the material and that processing it as described in these Terms will not violate another person’s rights or obligations. Do not submit confidential information, trade secrets, personal data you lack authority to provide, or content subject to restrictions inconsistent with these Terms.

8. Service content and intellectual property

Except for third-party materials and your submissions, the Service’s software, interface, selection, organization, and original content are owned by the operator or licensed to the operator and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. These Terms give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service for personal, lawful purposes. No other license is granted.

Citations, card images, game text, product names, marketplace data, and linked materials may be owned and licensed by third parties. Your use of those materials remains subject to the rights of their owners. If you believe material available through Riftbot infringes your rights, email chase@riftbot.ai with the work, the material, its location, your contact details, and the basis for your claim.

9. Third-party services

Riftbot may retrieve information from or link to Riot Games, Riftbound publishers, eBay, TCGplayer, PriceCharting, GitHub, and other services. Third-party services are governed by their own terms, policies, availability, and transaction rules. A citation or link does not constitute an endorsement or warranty. The operator is not responsible for third-party content, products, transactions, security, or conduct.

10. Changes, suspension, and termination

The Service may be changed, rate-limited, suspended, or discontinued at any time. Features and data sources may be added or removed, and information may be corrected without notice. The operator may suspend or terminate access when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, users, third parties, or the operator, or when these Terms are violated.

You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and dispute provisions—will survive.

11. Disclaimers

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE OPERATOR DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AND STATUTORY WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT.

THE OPERATOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY ANSWER, CITATION, PRICE, LISTING, LINK, OR OTHER CONTENT WILL BE CORRECT, COMPLETE, CURRENT, AVAILABLE, SECURE, OR FREE OF ERRORS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OF THIS SECTION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR AND ITS CONTRIBUTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES; LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OPPORTUNITIES; OR LOSSES ARISING FROM A PURCHASE, SALE, TRADE, GRADING DECISION, TOURNAMENT RULING, THIRD-PARTY SERVICE, OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED THAT SUCH LOSS WAS POSSIBLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE OPERATOR’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF US$100 OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID DIRECTLY TO THE OPERATOR FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

These limits do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including any non-waivable consumer rights.

13. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the operator and contributors from third-party claims, damages, losses, and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful use of the Service, your submissions, or your material breach of these Terms. This section does not require a consumer to indemnify the operator where prohibited by applicable law.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable where the operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except that mandatory consumer protections and venue rights in your home jurisdiction remain unaffected. Before filing a claim, you and the operator agree to make a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute through the support channel. Nothing in these Terms prevents either party from seeking urgent injunctive relief or using an applicable small-claims process.

15. General terms

These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement about the Service. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be enforced to the greatest lawful extent and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without the operator’s consent; the operator may assign them in connection with a transfer of the Service.

Riftbot aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. If you have difficulty accessing or navigating the Service, email chase@riftbot.ai with the affected page and barrier so the operator can review it.

16. Changes and contact

These Terms may be updated as the Service or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date will identify the current version. Material changes may also be highlighted in the Service when reasonably practical. Your continued use after revised Terms take effect means you accept them, except where law requires another form of agreement.

Questions, rights notices, and support requests may be emailed to chase@riftbot.ai.
