Software Escrow Agreement

Reviewed by lawyers Sent by email within 10 days Editable in Word Updated October 2026

Our software escrow agreement template is an indispensable tool for software providers who wish to establish a relationship of trust and security with their clients. This agreement involves placing the software's source code under the custody of an independent third party, the escrow agent. This arrangement ensures that, in case of issues such as supplier bankruptcy or contract breaches, the client can access the source code and continue to operate the software.

The template is designed to be signed by three parties: the client, the supplier, and the escrow agent. It details all the conditions under which the source code can be released to the client, protecting the interests of all parties involved. This document is essential for software providers who wish to offer an additional layer of security to their clients, reinforcing the reliability and integrity of the service provided.
