Terms for using this website

Last updated October 3, 2026

These terms cover your use of this website, which is operated by Best Pay LLC, Fort Worth, Texas ("we", "us"). By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Information, not legal advice

Everything on this site is general information. It is not legal advice, and using the site or its tools does not create an attorney-client relationship. Best Pay LLC is not a law firm. Whether and how to use a receipt, a timestamp or a report in any matter is for you and your lawyer, and whether a court accepts anything is for the court. Please do not rely on this site in place of advice from a lawyer who knows your situation.

What the tools do and do not do

A receipt or timestamp can show that a sealed record has not changed since it was sealed and, with a timestamp, that it existed no later than a stated time. It does not show that a file is true or genuine, who made it, or that it was unaltered before it was sealed. The browser verifier performs a technical check and reports its result. You are responsible for reading the result and the limits shown with it and for deciding whether and how to rely on it. We make no promise about the outcome of any matter.

Sealing work is separate

Sealing, timestamping, evidence reports and any pilot are provided only under a separate written agreement that states what we receive, what we deliver and the fee. If it conflicts with these terms, that agreement controls for that work.

Using the site

You may use the site and the free verifier for lawful purposes, including checking receipts for your own matters or your clients' matters. Please do not try to disrupt the site, overload it, or probe it for weaknesses without asking first. If you find a problem, we welcome a report at ibg@bestfortifiedpay.com. You may link to the site.

Ownership

The site's text, design, software and the names Phantom Receipt and WORM ledger belong to Best Pay LLC or are used with permission. Some of the technology described here is the subject of pending intellectual-property filings. These terms give you the right to use the site and the free verifier to check receipts. They do not give you any other right in our software, our filings or our trademarks, and you may not copy the site or its tools and present them as your own.

Third-party services

Some tools rely on public services that we do not run, such as a free timestamp authority or a public blockchain. Those services carry no uptime or accuracy promise from them or from us, and they may change or stop without notice.

The site is provided as is

The site and its tools are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law permits, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability and non-infringement.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent Texas law permits, Best Pay LLC and its owners, employees and contractors are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, lost business, or the loss, exclusion or weakening of any evidence, claim, defense or case, arising from your use of, or inability to use, the website or its free tools, even if we were told such loss was possible. Our total liability for all claims about the website and its free tools is limited to one hundred U.S. dollars. Nothing in these terms limits liability for fraud or willful misconduct, or any liability that cannot be limited by law. Work done under a separate written agreement is governed by the limits in that agreement.

Your responsibility for what you do with the tools

You are responsible for how you use the site and the tools, for the accuracy of anything you submit or rely on, and for following the rules that apply to you and your matter. To the extent the law permits, you agree to cover Best Pay LLC against third-party claims that come from your misuse of the site or from your own unlawful conduct.

Governing law and where disputes are heard

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute about these terms or the website will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in Tarrant County, Texas, and you and we agree to those courts' jurisdiction. Before either of us starts a case, we agree to try for 30 days to resolve it by writing to each other.

General

If any part of these terms cannot be enforced, the rest stays in effect. Our not enforcing a term at some moment does not waive it. These terms, together with our privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the website, apart from any separate written agreement for sealing work.

Changes

We may change these terms. We will change the date above and post the new version here. Continued use of the site means you accept the change.
