Regardless of the type or terms, we understand that it's your escrow agreement, not ours. Only the parties to the agreement (Developer & Licensee) know what special terms must be included in the escrow agreement.

We at Guard-IT are pleased to assist you in editing or customizing a software escrow agreement that meets your exact needs, so that you don't have to settle with someone else's terms. You may edit a copy of one of our basic drafts (see below) or send us your existing escrow agreement.

Two Types: For Multiple Beneficiaries or a Single Beneficiary

There are two basic forms of escrow agreement. Simply put, a two-party escrow agreement is between a Developer and Guard-IT; unlimited Licensees may be subsequently enrolled. A three-party agreement defines fixed terms among the Developer, one Licensee and Guard-IT.

Two-Party: These agreements give Developers intellectual property protection, control of the basic escrow terms and the flexibility to add unlimited Beneficiaries as needed. Two-party agreements enhance a Developer's marketing efforts by giving instant security benefits to clients. Beneficiaries can be quickly enrolled online at Guard-IT's
Online Client Services area.

Three-Party: In some cases, Developers may only need to secure a license agreement for a single Licensee. This usually occurs when smaller Developers or startups work with much larger clients or those with very detailed license requirements. A three-party agreement is a valuable tool for securing intricate license agreements and cementing business relationships by proactive, good-faith efforts between Developers and Licensees.
