Terms of Use

Effective September 22, 2026. These Terms of Use form an agreement between you and the operator of All Time Lists about your access to and use of alltimelists.com (the “Website”). By using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

These Terms work together with our Privacy Policy and CCPA Privacy Statement. They cover the Website and its editorial content; they do not turn an independent third-party website, product, or service into part of All Time Lists. Learn more about the publication on our About Us page.

We may revise these Terms when the Website, our practices, or applicable requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Your continued use after a revised version is posted means that the revised Terms apply from that point forward, to the extent permitted by law.

1. Disclaimer of warranties

The Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, All Time Lists disclaims express and implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Website will always be available, secure, error-free, complete, current, or free from harmful components.

All Time Lists publishes general-interest information and entertainment. Content is not a substitute for legal, medical, financial, safety, or other qualified professional advice. Verify information that could affect your health, money, legal rights, safety, or a major purchase with current primary sources and an appropriate professional. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so part of this section may not apply to you.

2. Editorial, advertising, and affiliate disclosure

Editorial judgments belong to the named author or All Time Lists editorial team. A third-party opinion belongs to that third party. We do not treat a product claim, testimonial, sponsored statement, or advertiser's description as an independently verified fact merely because it appears on or is linked from the Website.

Some pages may contain advertising, sponsored material, or links that can earn All Time Lists a commission. When a material connection exists, it should be disclosed clearly near the relevant recommendation or link. The Federal Trade Commission's endorsement guidance explains why a paid or affiliate relationship should be clear and conspicuous. A general statement in these Terms does not replace any disclosure required on a specific page.

3. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, All Time Lists and parties working on its behalf will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, goodwill, or use, arising from or related to the Website, its content, or a third-party product or service linked from it.

Where liability cannot be excluded, our aggregate liability for a claim arising from the Website will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid directly to All Time Lists for the relevant Website service during the six months before the event giving rise to the claim or US $100. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability or a remedy that applicable law does not allow the parties to exclude. Because some jurisdictions restrict liability limitations, this section may apply to you only in part.

4. Arbitration and class-action waiver

Please read this section carefully because it affects how disputes may be resolved. Before starting a formal claim, you and All Time Lists agree to try in good faith to resolve the dispute by written notice and an informal discussion. A notice should identify the person making the claim, describe the facts and requested relief, and include contact information for a response.

Except for an individual claim eligible for small-claims court or a request for temporary or preliminary relief concerning intellectual property or unauthorized access, a dispute arising from these Terms or the Website will be resolved by individual binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under the rules applicable to the claim. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and fee information explain the filing process, allocation of costs, and available fee waivers. If this section conflicts with a mandatory part of those rules or applicable law, that mandatory provision controls.

You and All Time Lists waive a jury trial and agree to bring covered claims only on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, representative, or private-attorney-general action. You may opt out of this arbitration and class-action provision by mailing a signed written notice within 30 days after you first become subject to it to: All Time Lists, 1651 E 70th St. #359, Shreveport, LA 71105. The notice must include your name, mailing address, and a clear statement that you are opting out. A court, not an arbitrator, will decide a dispute about the validity or enforceability of this paragraph. Non-waivable rights under applicable law remain available.

5. Intellectual property and copyright notices

The Website's original selection, arrangement, design, text, graphics, and other content may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual-property laws. Rights in third-party names, trademarks, photographs, and other material remain with their respective owners. Except where the Website expressly allows it or applicable law permits it, you may not reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, modify, or commercially exploit protected content without permission from the relevant copyright owner.

If you believe material on the Website infringes your copyright, send a notice that identifies the copyrighted work, the material and its location, your contact information, a good-faith statement that the use is not authorized, a statement under penalty of perjury that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act, and your physical or electronic signature. Send the notice to: Copyright Agent, All Time Lists, 1651 E 70th St. #359, Shreveport, LA 71105.

The U.S. Copyright Office's Section 512 resources explain the notice-and-takedown process. The statutory notice requirements appear in 17 U.S.C. § 512. These official resources describe the process; they do not establish that a particular use infringes copyright or that any party qualifies for a statutory safe harbor.

6. General provisions

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where federal law or another mandatory law applies. For a dispute not subject to arbitration, you consent to the jurisdiction of state and federal courts with authority over the operator of All Time Lists, unless applicable law gives you a non-waivable right to bring the claim elsewhere.

If a provision is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remaining provisions will continue in effect. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our written consent; we may assign these Terms as part of a transfer of the Website or its business, subject to applicable law. These Terms, together with incorporated policies, are the entire agreement about use of the Website and do not create an employment, agency, partnership, or joint-venture relationship.

7. Third-party links

The Website may link to a retailer, advertiser, source, social platform, or other third-party website. A link does not mean that All Time Lists controls the third party or guarantees its content, privacy practices, availability, products, prices, claims, or services. When you leave the Website, the third party's terms and privacy policy govern your interaction with it.

Review the destination, seller, final price, product terms, return policy, and privacy choices before acting. Any purchase or other transaction is between you and the third party unless the page expressly says otherwise. An affiliate relationship, when present, should be disclosed near the relevant link as described above.

8. International availability

The Website may be accessible outside the United States, but accessibility does not mean that every article, product, service, promotion, or third-party offer is lawful, accurate, or available in every country or region. Names, specifications, prices, availability, and regulatory treatment can differ by location.

You are responsible for following the laws that apply where you access the Website. Do not treat an article or advertisement as regulatory approval or as permission to use or buy a product where you live. If local law gives you rights that cannot be waived by contract, these Terms do not take those rights away.

Sources and scope

The external links in these Terms point to current public guidance from the Federal Trade Commission, American Arbitration Association, U.S. Copyright Office, and U.S. House Office of the Law Revision Counsel, checked September 22, 2026. They explain referenced disclosure, arbitration, and copyright-notice processes. They are not legal advice, and All Time Lists does not claim that those sources approve these Terms or decide how a particular claim will be resolved.
