Case 01 — Disputes

Screenshot a website for evidence

A screenshot you take yourself is easy to dismiss — you could have edited it, and nothing proves when it was taken. SnapMySite captures the page for you: an independent server photographs the full page, stamps the exact UTC time, hashes the file, and emails it to you. Documentation, not just a picture.

Why DIY screenshots get dismissed

In dispute after dispute — deposit arguments, marketplace claims, workplace grievances — the same objection comes up: "anyone can fake a screenshot." And it's true. A cropped phone screenshot has no source URL, no reliable time, no context, and can be assembled in an image editor in minutes. Courts have excluded such screenshots repeatedly for exactly these reasons.

What holds up better is provenance: who captured it, when, and can anyone show it hasn't been altered since?

What a SnapMySite capture records

• The full page — top to bottom, including the address, not a crop.
• Who captured it — our servers, not you. You never touch the file before it's sealed and delivered.
• When — the exact UTC timestamp of capture, plus the independent date on the delivery email itself.
• Integrity — a SHA-256 hash of each file. Change one pixel and the hash breaks.

Typical filings

• Tenants & landlords — the listing as advertised; deposit and condition claims.
• Buyers & sellers — the item description and price at the moment of sale, before it's "corrected".
• Employees — public posts and pages relevant to a workplace matter, kept off employer systems, in your own inbox.
• Small claims — the page that says what the other side now denies saying.

An honest note on admissibility

No screenshot service can promise a court will accept its output — that's decided case by case, and anyone claiming otherwise is overselling. What we can say: a third-party capture with a verifiable timestamp and hash is categorically stronger documentation than a self-made screenshot, and it costs a fraction of a dollar to have instead of not have. For serious matters, capture early and speak to a professional.
