How it works

A neutral, three-party process built for trust

Software escrow involves an agreement between three parties: the software developer, the licensee, and EscrowTech as the neutral escrow company.

  1. 01

    Agreement Initiation

    We draft a custom software escrow agreement that defines the terms for deposits and release conditions.

  2. 02

    Secure Deposit

    Submit source code, documentation, build instructions, and technical assets — physically or electronically.

  3. 03

    Technical Verification

    Our experts verify materials are complete and usable. Optional, but highly recommended.

  4. 04

    Storage & Maintenance

    Materials are regularly updated and securely stored at our state-of-the-art two-site vaults.

  5. 05

    Release on Trigger

    If a predefined release condition is met, EscrowTech releases the materials to the licensee.
