What is a Software Escrow Agreement?

A Software Source Code Escrow Agreement is a simple and effective tri-party arrangement with mutually agreed terms between the software customer, software supplier, and Escode. Under the Software Escrow Agreement, the supplier periodically deposits a copy of the software source code and associated materials for secure storage within Escode's secure physical or virtual vault, ensuring that the material can be accessed and released should the need arise.

                          

                      

Benefits of Escrow Agreements

A Software Escrow Agreement supports compliance with audit requirements as well as IT outsourcing and third-party risk management regulatory requirements and guidance.

Enables continuity

A Software Escrow Agreement mitigates the risks associated with software vendors and forms a key part of business continuity and exit planning for critical third-party services.
