The living archive of LoL Classic

Legal

Terms of use

Last updated July 31, 2026

These terms govern the use of RiftArchive.gg. They are written to be read, not to discourage reading. In short: browse it, share it, quote us, but don't copy the archive.

Acceptance

By browsing this site you accept the rules described here. If they don't suit you, don't use the site.

No account is needed to read RiftArchive.gg, and no sign-up is offered today.

What the service is

RiftArchive.gg is an encyclopedia dedicated to League of Legends Classic: game data versioned per patch, guides, builds and counterplay. The service is provided free of charge.

Game data comes from the client files, cross-checked and reworked. The game evolves through community votes: a value that is correct today may not be tomorrow. Every page states the patch it refers to, and it is up to you to check you're reading the right version.

Ownership of the content

The editorial texts on this site, guides, builds, counterplay and patch articles, are original works. They are protected by copyright.

The database itself, meaning the collection, verification, structuring and updating of the game data, represents a substantial investment and is protected as such by database producers' rights.

The site's visual identity, its emblem and its source code are original works as well.

What you may do

Read the site as much as you like, with no limit and no account.

Share a link to any page, on a forum, a Discord server, a social network or a video.

Quote a short extract from a guide in an article, a video or a message, provided you name RiftArchive.gg and link back to the original page.

Use what you read to play, stream, coach or write. Knowledge is meant to travel, that's the whole point of the site.

What is not allowed

Extracting all or a substantial part of the database, by hand or with an automated program, in order to republish it, fold it into another service or resell it.

Reproducing a guide, a build or a counterplay text, in full or lightly reworded, on another site.

Querying the site automatically at a rate that degrades the service for other visitors.

Removing, hiding or altering attribution, credits or these terms.

Using the site's name, emblem or visual identity in a way that would suggest an affiliation or an endorsement that does not exist.

Community contributions

No contribution feature is open at this time. This section describes the framework that will apply once one is, so that nobody discovers it after the fact.

When submitting content you will confirm that it is your own and that it infringes nobody's rights. You will keep ownership of it, and grant RiftArchive.gg the right to display it, adapt it to the layout and translate it.

Every contribution will be reviewed before publication. A contribution may be refused or removed without detailed justification, in particular if it is inaccurate, copied from elsewhere, off topic or hostile toward other players.

Riot Games and third-party marks

RiftArchive.gg is not endorsed by Riot Games and is not affiliated with Riot Games in any way. League of Legends and League of Legends Classic are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc.

Champion, item and ability names, along with artwork and icons taken from the game, belong to Riot Games. They are used under Riot's policy on player-created content.

Availability

The site is provided as is, with no guarantee of availability and no guarantee of being free of errors. Interruptions can happen, particularly during the data updates that follow a patch.

Content may be changed, extended or removed at any time, especially when a community vote shifts the game's balance.

Liability

Published information is checked carefully, but it describes a living game that changes. It is provided for information only and carries no guarantee of results in game.

The publisher cannot be held liable for damage arising from use of the site, from its unavailability, or from data that has gone stale between two patches.

The site may contain links to third-party sites, over which the publisher has no control and for whose content it takes no responsibility.

Changes to these terms

These terms may change, particularly as new features open, such as community contributions. The date of the last update appears at the top of this page.

The version that applies is the one published at the moment you use the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution will be sought first, by writing to the contact address below.

Contact

For any question about these terms, a takedown request, or to report an error in the content, write to contact@riftarchive.gg. Requests are handled promptly.
