maintain and enhance the software in the event of
an unanticipated and/or catastrophic occurrence
does not permit the Technology Vendor to continue
its operations.

Fear of Piracy
Loss of Maintenance Revenue

8. Many Technology Vendors are now compromising
with their clients by establishing source code
escrow accounts. This works by having the Vendor
submit a copy of its source code to an escrow agent,
who will then in turn, store the source code in a
secure location.
Compromise Points of View

9. Licensee’s benefit – In the event that a specific,
release/triggering event agreed upon by the
Vendor and Licensee occurs, the Agent will then
have the right to release the source code that was
deposited into escrow, to the Licensee.
Compromise Points of View

10. The Vendor’s benefit – Establishing an escrow
account protects their interests and increases the
value of the solution to their customers.
