Sales are one of the most eagerly awaited times of the year for consumers—and also one of the riskiest when shopping online. Stores launch very attractive deals, crossed-out prices, countdown promotions, and conditions that sometimes disappear.
But with so many discounts, how can you protect yourself from potential fraud, changing terms, or misleading advertising?
At SaveTheProof, we help you certify offers exactly as they appear when you see them, creating legally valid proof in case you need to file a claim later.
Why Certify an Offer with SaveTheProof?
During sales, it’s common to find:
Certifying an offer with SaveTheProof allows you to:
Besides the product and its price, it’s just as important to save proof of the legal terms offered by the online store: return policies, delivery times, warranty terms, or restrictions on discounted products.
That’s why we also recommend certifying the terms and conditions of the purchase or service.
These terms can be modified without notice or disappear from the website after the campaign ends, making any claim more difficult. Certifying them with SaveTheProof gives you an extra layer of protection against any future issues.
💡TIP: Purchase terms are often available on the advertiser’s website in PDF format. To certify them during a Web Browsing Session, you can take screenshots of each page or simply download the PDF. In both cases, the document will be included as part of the certificate’s documentation.
How Does SaveTheProof Work to Certify a Sales Offer?
Certificar es rápido y sencillo. Solo necesitas seguir tres pasos:
1️⃣ Log in to your account at www.savetheproof.com or create one if you don’t have it yet: https://secure.savetheproof.com/signup
2️⃣From the left-hand menu, choose New Certificate > Website > Web Browsing Session > Certify Now > Start Certification.
Wait for your private browsing platform to load. Once the session starts, copy and paste the URL of the offer or browse to it, then take a screenshot of the full page or visible area where the offer appears. Do the same with the terms and conditions page. You can take up to 50 full-page or visible-area screenshots. You’ll have 30 minutes for browsing and capturing content.
Once you’ve captured everything, click the button: End Session and Certify.
We’ll then generate your certificate, which will be ready in just a few minutes.
💡 TIP: Certify before buying if the offer seems suspicious. You can also complete the purchase within the browsing session, so the entire process is recorded. You’ll get a full video of the session, along with your screenshots of relevant information (offer, sales terms, etc.).
3️⃣From the table “My Web Browsing Session Certificates” you can download the certificate as a ZIP folder, which includes:
-
A PDF certificate of the browsing session, with all captured content, digitally signed and timestamped with a qualified electronic seal. You can download or share it whenever needed. This certificate includes the exact date and time of capture and guarantees the integrity of the certified information.
-
A metadata folder (hash, URLs, network traffic, software used, etc.) from the browsing session, providing technical and evidentiary context to the content captured. This is essential to ensure the integrity, traceability, and authenticity of your digital proof.
This certificate will support you if you need to claim an offer, price, or condition that changed after your purchase. In this post, we explain how to present it: How to bring a SaveTheProof certificate to a legal proceeding?
