Earlier copy of a webpage

esmerelda98

Would really appreciate help with this. A company has just changed their terms and conditions. I believe they have changed them in such a way as to disadvantage me but I would like to see the previous terms and conditions so I can argue my case with them. I read somewhere that even though a webpage has changed, earlier copies of the webpage can often be found. Can anyone help? Thanks

There is something called the Wayback machine (http://archive.org/web/) which gives you access to past pages. As well as going to the web page you can load an extension for Google Chrome (and maybe other browsers also)

looks like it is also on Firefox - via the add ons page or by following this link:

Thanks, giraffe. They didn't have the page I need but it was worth a try. If anyone else has any other suggestions I would love to hear them. They have well and truly tied me up like a Christmas turkey.

Why not tell us which page it is and which bit you think might have changed?

Ask the company for a copy of the previous T&Cs

It is possible that parts of the page were stored in your webcache

Also with wayback archive do not give up if URL does not show up, start with root of website then if wayback has any drill down to terms.

If you PM me the site URL I will see if I can find anything on their website that they have hidden.

If all else fails you will have to name and shame

Sad people like me save the terms and webpages of sites I but from,
