  1. Keep your photos and files unedited. The receipt only matches the originals. Put them in an album such as “My records”.
  2. Save this receipt to your camera roll.

    Keep the receipt file too. The image is a handy copy; checking needs the file.

  3. Email it to yourself.Email it to myself

    Your mail app opens a draft. Attach your receipt image and receipt file. Don’t attach your photos or documents. Timevolt does not send it or know whether it was sent.

      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.

      1. Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
      2. Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
      3. Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
      4. Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
      5. 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.

      United States — California · 2019

      Read revenue-share terms beside earlier agreements

      A band and publisher disputed whether a sharing deal included royalties for performances. The appeal court found the deal's words and facts supported that reading and set aside the firm's early win. It set no final payment amount.

      United States — Georgia · 2021

      Final wording can treat sales categories differently

      A band backer sought track royalties under a deal revised before signing. The court kept the band's win on the remaining claims but removed part of the costs award. Merchandise royalties had already been settled by agreement.

      An old sharing deal may continue after departure

      Former band members challenged a bid to stop sharing royalties under an old agreement. The appeal court ordered a ruling that they were owed a share. More court work could follow, and it set no final payment amount.

      Proves / Doesn’t prove

      Proves

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

      Doesn’t prove

      It does not establish identity, assent, signatures, enforceability, ownership, the proper share, payment or a winning interpretation.

      Questions, answered plainly.

      Your file stays on your device. During normal receipt creation, your device sends a randomized code made from its fingerprint, plus encrypted recovery data. It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.

      Does dating an agreement show everyone accepted it?

      No. A dated copy preserves bytes. The cited royalty appeal depended on the existing agreement and surrounding circumstances, not a date alone.
