1) The Service

The Humble List is an entertainment service that displays public leaderboards. The leaderboards rank participants based solely on contribution amount.

Entertainment purposes only. The Service is satire. You understand that leaderboards, badges, achievements, and rankings are for entertainment and bragging rights only.

2) Eligibility

You must be 18 years old (or the age of majority where you live) to make a contribution or use paid features. By using the Service, you represent that you meet this requirement and have legal capacity to enter these Terms.

3) Accounts (optional)

You may contribute without creating an account. Accounts may provide conveniences such as viewing contribution history, adding contributions more easily, and tracking achievements. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activity under your account.

4) Contributions, pricing, and important disclosures

4.1 Minimum contribution

A single contribution must be at least $1.00.

4.2 Final sale / non-refundable

All contributions are final and non-refundable, except where required by law.

4.3 No prize or monetary value

There is no prize, no payout, and no monetary value associated with appearing on the leaderboards. Bragging rights only.

4.4 Not a charity

The Service is not a charity and contributions are not tax-deductible unless we explicitly state otherwise in writing.

4.5 Taxes

Sales tax may apply where required and is added at checkout. Leaderboard rankings are calculated before sales tax (tax does not increase your ranking).

4.6 Payment processing

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store full payment card numbers. Payment method availability (e.g., credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay) may vary by device, location, and processor support.

5) Leaderboards and ranking rules

5.1 The three leaderboards

The Service offers three public leaderboards:

  • Monthly Top 10
  • Yearly Top 10
  • All-Time Top 10

5.2 How totals are calculated

  • Monthly totals: Only contributions made during that month count toward that month's total.
  • Yearly totals: Only contributions made during that year count toward that year's total.
  • All-time totals: All contributions count, including contributions from prior years.

5.3 Cutoff timing

Monthly and yearly periods are calculated using Zulu time (UTC).

5.4 Top 10 only / no guarantee of placement

Only the Top 10 contributors appear on each leaderboard. No placement is guaranteed. If you are not Top 10 for a given leaderboard, you will not appear on that leaderboard.

5.5 Tie-breaker

If two or more participants have the same contribution total for a leaderboard period, the higher rank goes to the participant whose qualifying contribution (or qualifying total) was recorded earliest, based on processor transaction timestamps and records.

5.6 Corrections, reversals, and integrity

We may adjust, remove, or correct leaderboard entries to maintain integrity, including when transactions are refunded, reversed, disputed, or charged back, or when we suspect fraud or policy violations. Processor records are the source of truth.

6) Public display and visibility

If you appear on a leaderboard (Top 10), the Service may publicly display:

  • your alias or name (depending on your settings and eligibility),
  • your rank,
  • your contribution amount (for that leaderboard period).

If you do not appear Top 10, you generally will not be displayed on that leaderboard.

7) Aliases (display names) and content rules

7.1 Alias requirements

Aliases must be:

  • 3–24 characters
  • comprised of letters, numbers, spaces, and underscores only
  • not include email addresses or phone numbers

7.2 Prohibited aliases and content

You may not use aliases or submit content that is:

  • impersonating another person or entity
  • hateful, harassing, threatening, dangerous, or otherwise unacceptable
  • obscene or unlawful
  • violating another person's rights (privacy, publicity, intellectual property)
  • misleading in a way that creates confusion about affiliation, endorsement, or identity

Examples of rejected aliases include: "Admin", "Support@email.com", "555-1234", and offensive language.

7.3 Enforcement

We may reject, modify, remove, or require changes to any alias or public display at our discretion. We may also remove listings and ban individuals for violations of these Terms.

8) Identity Verified badge

8.1 What it is

The Service may offer an optional "Identity Verified" badge using Stripe Identity.

8.2 Requirements and display rules

  • The badge exists to confirm that a displayed real name belongs to the person displaying it.
  • To display the Identity Verified badge, you must display your verified real name (not an alias).
  • If you use an alias, the Identity Verified badge will not be displayed.

8.3 What it is not

Identity Verified is not an endorsement, not a background check, and not proof of character, trustworthiness, or humbleness. It only indicates that an identity verification check was completed at a point in time.

8.4 Revocation

We may remove or revoke the badge at any time, including for suspected fraud, disputes/chargebacks, policy violations, or changes in verification status.

9) Achievements

The Service may offer achievements. Some achievements may be hidden until earned by at least one participant; once earned, they may become visible on the Achievements page. Achievements have no monetary value and are for entertainment only. We may modify, remove, or reset achievements at any time.

10) Prohibited conduct

You agree not to:

  • use stolen payment methods or attempt fraud
  • abuse chargebacks or disputes
  • harass, threaten, or dox others
  • impersonate others or attempt to mislead users about identity
  • attempt to disrupt the Service, probe security, scrape excessively, or use bots in a harmful way
  • violate applicable law

11) Suspension, removal, and banning

We may suspend or terminate access, remove listings, remove badges, and/or ban users at any time if we believe you violated these Terms, created risk, engaged in fraud or abuse, or interfered with the Service. We may do so with or without notice where appropriate. Final sale rules still apply (no refunds except where required by law).

12) Privacy and analytics

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use data. The Service uses analytics tools (including Microsoft Clarity), subject to our consent controls and Privacy Policy.

13) Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, error-free leaderboards, or that you will appear on any leaderboard. We do not guarantee availability of any feature, badge, or achievement.

14) Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US FOR THE SERVICE IN THE THREE (3) MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM (OR $50, IF GREATER).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15) Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Druksys, LLC and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Service, your alias/content, or your violation of these Terms.

16) Governing law and venue

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Bexar County, Texas, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there.

17) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Changes take effect when posted unless we state otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after the updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Service.
