The deal, in plain English.
What receipts.you is
A cryptographic timestamping service. You drop an image, we sign its SHA-256 hash with our private key and a UTC timestamp, return a public receipt URL. The service is free for personal and commercial use, subject to fair-use rate limits.
What receipts.you is NOT
- Not a truth verifier. We attest to byte-level integrity of an image since sealing, not to the authenticity of what's depicted. Sealing a fabricated screenshot does not make it real.
- Not a notary. We are not licensed notaries in any jurisdiction. For documents requiring formal notarisation, use a licensed notary.
- Not a qualified e-timestamping provider. Our timestamps are standard electronic timestamps under eIDAS Article 41(1) — admissible as evidence in EU courts without automatic legal presumption of accuracy. For eIDAS-qualified timestamps, use DigiCert / GlobalSign / Sectigo or equivalent.
- Not a substitute for legal counsel. Whether a receipt is useful in your specific legal context depends on your jurisdiction and the matter at hand.
- Not a guarantor that any specific use of a receipt will succeed at proving any specific claim.
Acceptable use
- Don't seal CSAM, content depicting non-consensual sexual material, or content that promotes violence against specific individuals. These will be removed on report and the receipt deleted.
- Don't use the service for harassment, doxxing, or impersonation campaigns. We'll remove receipts associated with such use and may block the country/UA bucket.
- Don't try to deduce other users' receipts by hash-guessing or scraping. Fair use is fair; sustained automated probing isn't.
- Don't resell the service or rebadge it without permission. Affiliate / partner programs are welcome — email us.
Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, receipts.you's aggregate liability for any claim arising from your use is capped at the fees you have paid us in the previous 12 months (€0 if you're on the Free tier). The service is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. We make no guarantees about availability, latency, durability of the database, or the eternal verifiability of any receipt — though we make best efforts on all of these and use OpenTimestamps as independent insurance.
Account / paid plans
Free tier has no account. Pro and Business plans (when launched) will use email + magic-link auth. Cancel any paid plan with one click in your settings; pro-rated refunds are at our discretion within the first 30 days, otherwise prepaid time is forfeit.
Changes to these terms
Material changes get a 30-day notice. We'll never retroactively invalidate receipts you've already sealed.
