Before you begin

The idea in everyday life

Preserve the exact offer, terms, consent, payments, changes, performance, notices, and responses in a usable timeline.

The idea

Online terms can change; save what you actually agreed to and when.

Try it

One step at a time.

Use the sample or information you have permission to use. Keep your work as you go. You can pause between steps.

  1. 1

    Save or print the dated offer, checkout, terms, linked policies, disclosures, signed version, confirmation, receipt, and warranty in a durable format.

  2. 2

    Record calls and verbal promises through lawful written follow-up without making unauthorized recordings.

  3. 3

    Maintain a timeline of delivery, defects, service, payments, notices, cancellations, tracking, case numbers, and responses with backups.

Example

See how it works.

Lee saves the checkout screen and terms PDF, then records the cancellation case number and confirmation email outside the vendor account.

Check your work

  • A reviewer can reconstruct the offer, agreement, payment, performance, and dispute from dated records.
