Terms of Service
Last updated : September 12, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of RankMates. By creating an account, you accept these terms in full.
1. Purpose of the service
RankMates is an online service that connects players based on their playstyle, level, region and preferences, to help them find teammates. The service is operated by SemanticLab.
2. Account and eligibility
You must create an account to use RankMates. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep your credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity carried out from your account. RankMates is reserved for players aged 14 and over: you confirm that you are at least 14 years old. You must also meet any higher minimum age required in your country; below the digital age of consent, a parent's agreement is required. We never match a minor (under 18) with an adult.
3. Rules of conduct
You agree not to: harass, threaten or intimidate other players; post hateful, sexually explicit, illegal or misleading content; impersonate others; spam or attempt to bypass the service's protections; cheat or game the matching system.
Any form of child sexual abuse or exploitation (CSAE) is strictly prohibited: sexual content involving a minor, sexualisation of a minor, grooming, sextortion or any attempt to contact a minor for a sexual purpose. It leads to an immediate and permanent ban and, where the law requires it, a report to the competent authorities. Our Child Safety Standards, available at rankmates.net/legal/child-safety, supplement these Terms.
You can report any player from their card, from a message or from their public profile. We review every report and aim to act on objectionable content, including removing it and banning the account, within 24 hours; child-safety reports are handled first. Breaching these rules may lead to suspension or permanent ban of your account, at our sole discretion.
4. Your content
You retain ownership of the content you post (pseudo, bio, answers, messages). You grant us a limited license, necessary to operate the service (display your profile, match you, route your messages). You warrant that you hold the rights to what you post.
5. Availability and changes
We strive to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. We may change, suspend or discontinue all or part of the service and its features at any time.
6. Liability
RankMates is a matching service: we are not responsible for the behavior of other players or the quality of the relationships formed. The service is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law, we cannot be held liable for indirect damages resulting from use of the service.
7. Termination
You can delete your account at any time from your settings. We may suspend or terminate your access in case of a breach of these Terms.
8. Third-party games and trademarks
RankMates is an independent service. The games you can create a profile for (their names, logos, artwork and characters) belong to their respective publishers. We name them only to say which games the service works with. RankMates is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any game publisher, and none of them is responsible for this service.
The visuals shown next to a game on RankMates are our own original artwork. We do not display publishers' logos or key art.
Some publishers require a specific notice, reproduced here:
- •Minecraft: NOT AN OFFICIAL MINECRAFT PRODUCT. NOT APPROVED BY OR ASSOCIATED WITH MOJANG OR MICROSOFT.
- •Valorant: RankMates was created under Riot Games' "Legal Jibber Jabber" policy using assets owned by Riot Games. Riot Games does not endorse or sponsor this project.
- •THE FINALS: not sponsored by or affiliated with Embark Studios AB.
- •Marvel Rivals: not endorsed, approved or sponsored by NetEase Games or Marvel.
- •Every other game name is a trademark of its publisher, used for identification only.
9. Governing law
These Terms are governed by French law. In case of dispute, and failing amicable resolution, the French courts have jurisdiction. In case of discrepancy between language versions, the French version prevails.
