Frequently Asked Questions
Lorem ipsum dolor?
Yes, absolutely. We believe that each escrow environment is unique and requires a customized approach. ESCROWSURE’s in-house legal counsel will craft a bespoke escrow agreement tailoring the provisions to meet the needs of your specific requirements.
How does software escrow protect my intellectual property?
Software escrow protects your intellectual property by placing your source code and related materials with an independent third-party, ESCROWSURE under strict legal terms. This means your code isn’t handed directly to clients or exposed during negotiations. Instead, it’s securely held and only released under specific trigger conditions you define, such as vendor insolvency or failure to support the software. This setup allows you to retain full ownership and control over your IP while still meeting client demands for operational continuity. It’s a smart, contractually sound way to reduce risk without compromising trust.
What happens if someone tries to access my code without a valid trigger event?
They can’t. ESCROWSURE is legally bound to follow the release terms in the escrow agreement. No release happens without meeting strict, predefined conditions agreed upon by all parties typically including vendor failure, breach of support, or insolvency. Any attempt to access the materials without those conditions being triggered would violate contract terms and would be rejected. This structure gives you full protection against misuse, while still offering your clients the reassurance they need that continuity is covered if something goes wrong.
Lorem ipsum dolor?
With SaaS applications, software is not accessed on a server located on the end users premises, but instead, is hosted remotely in the cloud by a hosting services provider usually paid for by the software vendor. This introduces an additional layer of risk as it adds to the supply chain dependencies.
In addition, the data generated by the application is hosted in the cloud too. This means that if the software Vendor were to stop answering the phone, both application and data could be beyond the reach of the end user immediately.
Some end users believe that a migration to a cloud service eliminates the need for an escrow arrangement.
But this is not true.
If anything, the need for escrow is greater for SaaS applications, because of the additional layer of risk which puts both the software and the data at risk if the worst should happen.
Can ESCROWSURE help if we’re in a dispute with a client over software access?
Yes. ESCROWSURE acts as a neutral third party and operates strictly within the terms of the escrow agreement. If a dispute arises about software access, the existence of a clear escrow contract helps avoid conflict by defining exactly when and how access can be granted. We don’t take sides; we follow the terms agreed upon by both parties. This clarity can often de-escalate disputes before they reach litigation. Additionally, we provide documentation and verification records that support resolution based on facts, not assumptions.
What if my software is still under development? Can I still use escrow?
Absolutely. Escrow isn’t just for completed software. In fact, many vendors use it throughout development cycles to show clients that continuity is built into their roadmap from day one. You can escrow source code, build tools, documentation, and updates as they evolve. ESCROWSURE supports version control and regular deposits, ensuring that the materials held reflect the current state of your product. This is particularly useful for SaaS platforms and iterative deployments where the product is always evolving, but IP needs to be protected throughout.
