ProofSnap doesn't.
The only web evidence tool whose proofs survive even if our company disappears. Self-verifiable cryptography, no vendor lock-in, no “trust us” required.
Tamper-proof cryptographic evidence courts accept: hash, signature, blockchain timestamp, capture video, Provenance Certificate. One click. 41 seconds.
From $8.99/mo (approx. NZ$16) · Up to 15 files per package · 23 countries
Also available for Microsoft Edge · The only extension with legally binding EU timestamps in all 27 member states
ProofSnap is a Chrome & Edge extension that captures web pages as court-admissible evidence in 41 seconds. Three capture options: single page, multi-tab browsing session (with per-tab forensic packages), or signed video proof (Auto, Manual, or Session-wide screen recording). Every capture includes a SHA-256 cryptographic hash, RSA-4096 digital signature, Bitcoin blockchain timestamp via OpenTimestamps, and a Provenance Certificate with 8 integrity checks for deepfake detection. In New Zealand, this speaks directly to section 137 of the Evidence Act 2006: where a machine, device or technical process generally does what a party asserts it does, it is presumed to have done so on the occasion in question, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. New Zealand runs one national evidence statute rather than a state-by-state patchwork, so the same test applies wherever you file. The presumption can still be displaced, which is why it matters how well the capture documents itself, and that is exactly what a hash, a signature and an independent timestamp answer. Our guide to tribunal evidence works through this in detail. The same signed package strengthens a Disputes Tribunal or Tenancy Tribunal application, a defamation claim under the Defamation Act 1992, a complaint to Netsafe under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, or a report to the National Cyber Security Centre. Enterprise plans add eIDAS-qualified timestamps issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List, for extra international weight. Evidence packages also line up with FRE 901 (US), eIDAS Article 41 (EU) and comparable rules in Germany, Italy and France. Pricing starts at $8.99/month with a 7-day free trial requiring a credit card. Used by lawyers, STR hosts, copyright enforcement firms, and compliance teams in 23 countries.

Why courts reject screenshots
United States courts rejected screenshot evidence in US v. Vayner, Griffin v. State and Serrano v. Cruz-Angeles. The authentication gap they identified is the same one here.
No timestamp proof
File timestamps can be changed in seconds. Courts know this. Without a blockchain or eIDAS-qualified timestamp, you can't prove when you captured it.
No tampering detection
Any screenshot can be edited in 10 seconds with AI. In Sept 2025, a California judge dismissed a case after discovering deepfaked video evidence. Without a SHA-256 hash, there's no way to prove yours is real.
No chain of custody
Who captured it? When? On what device? How was it stored? Screenshots don't answer any of these questions. Under FRE 901 and eIDAS Art. 41, digital evidence requires authentication.

- 1 JPEG file, no proof it's real

Built for how disputes start in New Zealand
Capture it before they delete it
Most New Zealand disputes never reach the High Court. They start at the Disputes Tribunal or the Tenancy Tribunal, with a personal grievance raised inside 90 days, or with a post that disappears the moment someone lawyers up. The National Cyber Security Centre recorded NZ$5.6 million in direct losses in the first quarter of 2026 alone. Whether you are filing a tribunal application, raising a grievance, or complaining to Netsafe, ProofSnap locks the record in seconds, with a signed PDF and a SHA-256 hash that holds up when the other side says "that screenshot is fake".
Disputes & Tenancy Tribunal claims
Tenancy, building, vehicle and consumer disputes are decided on listings, inspection photos and message threads. The Disputes Tribunal limit rose to NZ$60,000 on 24 January 2026 and follows no formal rules of evidence, so a referee weighs whose account to prefer. A landlord or trader who says the listing never said that is much harder to believe against a hashed, timestamped capture. See the detail in our guide to Disputes and Tenancy Tribunal evidence.
Defamation: two years, and no notice required
New Zealand gives you two years from publication and, unlike Australia, requires no pre-action notice and imposes no statutory serious harm threshold. The courts here work with a more-than-minor-harm test instead. You still have to prove what was published, by whom, and how far it spread. Capture the post, the account and the reach while the page is live, because a deleted post is a deleted case. See our guide to defamation evidence in New Zealand.
Netsafe and the HDCA
Netsafe is the Approved Agency for complaints under the Harmful Digital Communications Act, and the District Court can order material taken down, order the conduct to stop, or order a correction or an apology. Both steps need proof of the communication, and it often vanishes while you are still filling in the form. Capture it first, complain second, as explained in our guide to Netsafe and HDCA evidence.
E-shop, Trade Me & investment scams
The NCSC recorded NZ$5.6 million in direct losses in the first quarter of 2026, and the security vendor Gen reports e-shop scams up 87 per cent across the first half of the year. Lock the listing, the price, the promised delivery, the fake dashboard and the chat before the account disappears, so your bank dispute and your reports to the NCSC and Netsafe all rest on the same signed package. Our guide to scam evidence in New Zealand sets out what to capture and in what order.
Just one dispute? You do not need a subscription.
If you are dealing with a single scam or one bad actor, a one-off SnapPack is a single up-front purchase, with no subscription, no auto-renewal, and no trial. Or send us the link and our team captures the court-ready package for you, no install required.
Guides for New Zealand matters
Pick the forum you are dealing with
Each guide covers the deadlines that apply, what the decision maker is actually weighing, and what to capture first.
Netsafe and HDCA evidence
Capture the communication before a takedown order removes it.
Disputes and Tenancy Tribunal
No formal rules of evidence, and a NZ$60,000 limit since 24 January 2026.
Defamation in New Zealand
Two years from publication, and a more-than-minor-harm threshold.
Scam evidence for your bank and the NCSC
Vendor data shows e-shop scams up 87 per cent. The site is gone within days.
Personal grievance evidence
90 days to raise it, and your access was cut on day one.
Australia splits its evidence law between a uniform scheme and three states that opted out, and its deadlines are shorter. If your matter is there, see ProofSnap in Australia. For the Republic of Ireland, see ProofSnap in Ireland, where a qualified timestamp carries an eIDAS presumption rather than mere corroboration.
Official New Zealand sources
The legal framing on this page rests on the following primary sources. Check them rather than taking our word for it.
- Evidence Act 2006, section 137 the presumption for evidence produced by a machine, device or technical process.
- Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015 the ten communication principles, the District Court orders and section 22.
- Disputes Tribunal and Tenancy Tribunal where most New Zealand disputes are actually decided.
- Employment New Zealand: personal grievances the 90-day rule and how to raise one.
- NCSC Cyber Security Insights the quarterly incident and loss figures quoted on this page.
Don't trust us. Trust the maths.
Three vendor approaches. One critical difference.
Most web-evidence tools force you to depend on them. ProofSnap evidence is self-verifiable: anyone with the ZIP can confirm authenticity using open standards (SHA-256, OpenTimestamps, eIDAS), with or without ProofSnap continuing to exist.
| ProofSnap | Page Vault / Pagefreezer | Notary / Wayback Machine | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verifiable without the vendor? | Yes, SHA-256 + OpenTimestamps work forever | No, verification requires their portal | No, depends on archive availability |
| What if the vendor disappears? | Evidence still valid | Evidence becomes hard to defend | Wayback can be wiped on request |
| Independent court-expert verification | Any IT expert, in 60 seconds | Requires vendor cooperation | Requires manual screenshot |
| Cryptographic proof in the file itself | Yes, open standards (SHA-256, OTS, eIDAS) | Proprietary format | None |
“Its merit is based on it being self-verifiable, and not necessarily dependent on the credit or level of trust afforded to the company or institution behind it.”

Independent legal opinion · 21 April 2026
Law firm confirms: ProofSnap is usable as evidence in court
The opinion was prepared by SEDLAKOVA LEGAL s.r.o. (Brno, Czech Bar Association, Company ID 05669871) under EU law (Regulation 910/2014, eIDAS) with reference to Czech civil procedure. Cross-references to the US Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE 901, 902(13)-(14), proposed FRE 707) and the English Civil Procedure Rules (CPR 32, 35) added by the ProofSnap team for orientation of common-law readers.
FRE 901 · FRE 902(13)-(14) · CPR 32 · eIDAS Art. 41
Admissible across proceeding types
ProofSnap outputs are usable as means of evidence in civil, criminal and administrative proceedings. Authentication satisfied under FRE 901 / 902 in the US, CPR 32 in the UK, and free evaluation of evidence in EU systems, reinforced by US case law (Vayner, Lorraine v. Markel, Mendones).
Notarial deed · Court reporter affidavit
Cost-effective alternative to notary
The opinion describes ProofSnap as "a suitable and economical alternative" to notarial fact certification of website state. Court-reporter affidavits and notarial deeds (US $200-500, UK £200-800) require waiting time during which content can disappear; ProofSnap captures immediately with cryptographic integrity.
eIDAS Art. 41(2) · Regulation (EU) 910/2014
Statutory presumption of accuracy
The qualified eIDAS timestamp issued by Disig a.s., a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List, carries the statutory presumption of accuracy of date, time and data integrity, shifting the burden of disproof to the opposing party, directly across all 27 EU Member States.
“The outputs of the ProofSnap service are, from the perspective of Czech procedural law and the EU legal framework, generally usable as means of evidence in any type of proceedings.”
Conclusion of the legal opinion, SEDLAKOVA LEGAL s.r.o., 21 April 2026
The opinion is publicly accessible, no registration. The conclusions express the legal view of the author and do not constitute binding legal advice.
The burden of proof, reversed
ProofSnap's eIDAS qualified timestamps shift the legal burden. Under EU Regulation 910/2014, Article 41, your evidence is legally presumed accurate, and the opposing party must prove otherwise.
With ProofSnap eIDAS timestamp
- Opponent must prove your evidence is fake
- Legal presumption of accuracy (eIDAS Art. 41)
- Automatically recognised in all 27 EU member states
- No expert witness needed to explain the technology
- Dual timestamp: eIDAS qualified + Bitcoin blockchain
Regular screenshot or blockchain-only
- You must prove your evidence is real
- No legal presumption, judge decides case by case
- Court recognition varies by country
- May need expert witness to explain blockchain
- Deepfake objection can invalidate entire evidence

One country, one evidence statute
New Zealand is simpler than Australia here, and that is worth knowing if you have been reading Australian material. There is no state-by-state split and no separate uniform scheme to check. One Act applies, and the forum decides how formally it is applied.
Evidence Act 2006, section 137
Where a machine, device or technical process generally does what you assert it does, it is presumed to have done so on the occasion in question, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. That last phrase is the whole game: the presumption holds until someone gives the court a reason to doubt it.
Tribunals: no formal rules of evidence
The Disputes Tribunal decides on the substantial merits and justice of the case, having regard to the law but not bound by strict legal rights or technicalities, and allows no lawyers in all but limited circumstances. The Tenancy Tribunal works informally too, under the general principles of the law and the substantial merits and justice of the case. Material gets in freely, so weight is the only battleground.
Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017
Part 4 replaced the Electronic Transactions Act 2002. Under section 226 an electronic signature, other than a witness signature, satisfies a legal requirement if it adequately identifies the signatory, adequately indicates their approval, and is as reliable as appropriate for the purpose. Where the information has to be given to someone, that person must also consent to receiving an electronic signature. Schedule 5 still excludes wills and affidavits, and since 30 March 2025 the exclusion for powers of attorney no longer applies to a deed creating a power of attorney in connection with a security interest.
Deadlines differ sharply from Australia
A personal grievance is raised within 90 days, or 12 months where it is based on sexual harassment. A defamation claim runs two years from publication. Neither matches the Australian timeframes, so do not work from Australian guidance.
An honest note on eIDAS: New Zealand has no equivalent of the European qualified timestamp regime, so our eIDAS timestamp carries no automatic presumption in a New Zealand court or tribunal. It is corroboration from an independent, audited third party, not a legal shortcut. What does the work here is the hash, the signature and the blockchain anchor, all of which anyone can verify without trusting us.
Prices are charged in USD. The approximate New Zealand figure shown under each price is for orientation only, converted at about NZ$1.73 to US$1. Your card issuer sets the actual rate on the day. The 7-day trial requires a credit card. Prefer not to subscribe? A one-off SnapPack is a single up-front purchase, with no subscription, no auto-renewal and no trial.

Frequently Asked Questions
ProofSnap is a Chrome extension that captures web pages as legal evidence with blockchain timestamping, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of digital evidence.
ProofSnap uses OpenTimestamps to anchor a SHA-256 hash of your evidence to the Bitcoin blockchain, creating a cryptographic proof of when the capture was made. This timestamp is independently verifiable and cannot be backdated or tampered with, providing irrefutable proof that your evidence existed at a specific point in time.
ProofSnap includes a 7-day free trial with all plans. The trial requires a credit card, and you are not charged if you cancel before it ends. Choose from flexible monthly or annual subscriptions: Essential ($8.99/month or $80/year), Professional ($16.99/month or $160/year), or Enterprise ($28.99/month or $280/year). Annual plans save 20%.
ProofSnap generates forensically sound evidence with cryptographic
proofs aligned with eIDAS 2 standards for qualified timestamps and digital signatures. Admissibility depends on jurisdiction and specific legal
requirements. Consult with legal professionals for specific cases.
Regular screenshots can be challenged in court because they carry no proof of when they were taken or whether they have been altered. New Zealand law helps, but it does not do the work for you. Under section 137 of the Evidence Act 2006, where a machine, device or technical process generally does what a party asserts it does, it is presumed to have done so on the occasion in question, in the absence of evidence to the contrary. That last phrase is the opening the other side will use: produce a reason to doubt the record and the presumption falls away. Unlike Australia there is no state-by-state patchwork to navigate, because one Act applies throughout. The Disputes Tribunal and the Tenancy Tribunal are not bound by formal rules of evidence at all, deciding instead on the general principles of the law and the merits and justice of the case, but they still weigh how reliable a record looks.
ProofSnap addresses this by creating a forensic evidence package containing a SHA-256 hash proving the content has not been modified, an RSA-4096 digital signature for authenticity, a blockchain timestamp proving when the capture happened, and full metadata including the URL and the capture time in UTC. That gives a court or a tribunal referee something concrete to weigh, and it makes the section 137 presumption far harder to displace than a plain image file.
ProofSnap uses three layers of cryptographic protection:
- SHA-256 Hashing: Every file in the evidence package is hashed. Changing even a single pixel or character produces a completely different hash, making any tampering immediately detectable.
- Digital Signature: The manifest (listing all files and their hashes) is digitally signed with a private key. The corresponding public key is included for anyone to verify authenticity.
- Blockchain Timestamp: The manifest hash is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain via OpenTimestamps, creating an immutable record of when the evidence was captured. This timestamp cannot be forged or backdated.
Together, these mechanisms create a chain of integrity that proves the evidence is authentic, unaltered, and was captured at a specific point in time.
The eIDAS 2 regulation (EU 2024/1183) is fully rolling out by the end of 2026, establishing stricter standards for electronic identification, digital signatures, and qualified electronic timestamps across all EU member states.
Under Article 41, qualified electronic timestamps enjoy a legal presumption of accuracy for the date and time they indicate, and the integrity of the data to which the timestamp is linked. This means evidence timestamped with a qualified service is admissible across all EU courts.
ProofSnap's cryptographic proofs align with eIDAS 2 requirements: SHA-256 hashing for data integrity, RSA-4096 digital signatures for authenticity, and blockchain timestamps via OpenTimestamps for independent time verification. This makes ProofSnap evidence packages suitable for legal proceedings in any EU jurisdiction.
