Source code escrow is a legal arrangement involving a software vendor, a licensee, and an independent escrow agent like Escode. It ensures that the source code and essential materials of a software application are securely stored and can be released to the licensee if the vendor cannot fulfil their obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency, or discontinued support. This service is crucial for maintaining business continuity and protecting intellectual property.
Source Code Escrow ensures that the licensee has access to the source code if the vendor fails to support the software due to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other reasons.
Source Code Escrow protects the licensee from risks associated with the vendor's inability to provide ongoing support and updates.
Source Code Escrow safeguards the vendor’s intellectual property by keeping the source code in a secure independent environment until a release condition is met. We simplify Escrow for Vendors with Multi-Licensee Agreements & automated source code deposits through View.
