Now keep it safe: three things
  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.

      Keep written approval with the live grid settings

      A wind farm used protection settings with no required written sign off. It admitted the breaches and agreed to a fine and better checks. The court ended other claims without finding that the settings caused a blackout.

      Unapproved grid settings do not prove blackout cause

      A power firm ran grid settings without the required sign off. It admitted breaking those rules and agreed to a fine and checks. The court ended other claims, after officials dropped claims that the settings caused the blackout or broke performance rules.

      Disclose protection settings and get the required approval

      Three power firms failed to disclose wind farm settings or get the required written sign off. The court imposed agreed fines and better checks for those breaches. Other claims ended, and officials dropped claims that the settings helped cause a blackout.

      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 prove origin, identity, location, truth, sending, acceptance, compliance or the outcome of a dispute.
