Software Escrow Explained

What is a Software Escrow Agreement

A Software Escrow is a contract between a software supplier and client that allows the client to access the software source code under pre-defined specific conditions. The software escrow requires the supplier to deposit their source code with a trusted software escrow service provider.

At Vaultinum, we provide an automated secure update of the source code from the supplier's GitHub repository for increased peace of mind.
