- Save this receipt to your camera roll.
Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.

How to keep notes that hold up
Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.
- Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
- Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
- Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
- Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
- Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

Doesn’t prove
It cannot prove authorship, ownership, originality, first publication, permission, copying by another person or the outcome of a complaint.
