Can i copy a site before its changed?

[puter-illiterate]

Hello all,
Is there a way that i could copy a site before it is changed?
By this i mean:
Today for example,
-a store is offering goods at £1.00
There are no terms & conditions on that site.

Tomorrow the store realizes its mistake
They then change a page to include certain T&C's..?

Could i copy the original site and save it so that it can be dated, etc to prove the mistake and the offer?

The above is just an example,
and there isnt a store that is offering anything for £1.00, which is underpriced...Honest

Any help appreciated, as always

Not really mate, you could take a screen shot (Print Screen), but I doubt they would honour it.

It never hurts to try though, it has worked for some in the past.

Ah Ok Mate,

When i take the screen shot, unless the site itself is dated, i dont suppose there is an "official" way that i can prove that it was taken on a particular day, is there?

Thanks anyway Tech'

You could try using the way back machine, for example:

http://web.archive.bibalex.org/web/*/http://google.com

(there is an input box at the top you can change the URL of).

Or Google cache if you are lucky (but that only displays the most recent snapshot and won't display CSS on a lot of sites).

Thanks Jimmy
The problem has now been sorted out, but the way back machine will be of use if the problem re-occurs again?
Many thanks for you help

cheers

No guarantees I'm afraid, the way back machine doesn't archive everything all of the time, worth a shot though.

Does it matter? I thought if you pay the price they asked for at the point of sale then they couldn't then change it later. It doesn't matter what they write in their t&c if it is superseded by law.

And you have the record of your credit/debit card to show what they charged
