For law firms

Web content disappears. Usually at the worst possible moment.

Four situations where a sealed capture is the difference between an assertion and evidence.

A capture takes minutes and then sits in your file, with a timestamp, a hash list and a report you can attach. The examples are invented, the workflows are the real ones.

Four use cases

Ordered by how often they come up in our conversations with firms in Germany and Austria.

A competitor's price claims, secured before the warning letter

Preserving a competitor's misleading advertising

01 · Unfair competition
Situation

A competitor of your client advertises implants at a fixed price without naming the exclusions. In practice the page changes within hours of a warning letter.

What you do

You capture the offer page with its price list, footnotes and linked terms in three widths, before the first letter goes out. The capture is sealed immediately.

What ends up in the file

An evidence report with a timestamp, full page screenshots at desktop, tablet and mobile width, the hash list and the WARC archive for independent checking.

Posts and profiles, captured one by one

Documenting defamatory statements

02 · Defamation
Situation

A review portal and a forum carry allegations about your client. Posts get deleted, edited, or disputed by their authors.

What you do

You capture the posts with their context, dates and profile pages. The crawler logs status codes and headers, so public availability is on the record.

What ends up in the file

One capture per post, with a text extract you can quote in a brief and a screenshot that shows the state of the page even after deletion.

Your client's own site, sealed every month

Securing your client's own site before a dispute

03 · Litigation readiness
Situation

Before proceedings, the other side disputes what stood on your client's website at a given time: delivery times, prices, terms.

What you do

You capture the whole site once, or on a schedule, for example monthly, and store the captures unchanged in WORM storage.

What ends up in the file

A series of sealed states on an unbroken timeline. Changes between two captures can be shown file by file.

92 captures, one report per reference date

Proving publication duties were met

04 · Regulatory
Situation

Your client has to show that a mandatory disclosure was publicly available throughout a period, a withdrawal notice for instance, or an announcement.

What you do

You set up a recurring order that captures the pages concerned at fixed times and seals each capture on its own.

What ends up in the file

A chain of proof across the whole period, exportable as one report per reference date, with a verification log for the regulator.

From order to case file, in six steps

This is the workflow for an associate setting up the capture herself. No IT knowledge needed, no command line.

What we do not promise

So that nothing comes as a surprise in front of a court.

01

No judgement on evidentiary weight

The software produces a technically verified document. How a court weighs it is for the court. We claim nothing about outcomes.

02

No capture behind logins without your instruction

Areas behind a login are captured only if you supply credentials and assess admissibility yourself. The software asks explicitly.

03

No reconstruction of the past

What is captured is the state at the time of capture. Webichive cannot secure what stood on the page before that.
