Software Escrow
Software escrow (AKA: source code escrow), is a service designed to provide an End-User of licensed software with access to source code, build instructions and other materials necessary to support and maintain licensed software in the event that the software provider should fail to maintain the application, cease business operations or encounter some other pre-negotiated release event.
The neutral third party software escrow agent will serve both the End-User and the software company by providing software escrow agreement templates, physical and legal protection for the escrow deposits and all related services. In addition, they may provide a variety of technical verification services designed to compliment the agreement and provide qualitative insight into the escrow deposit materials.
