Why a Software Escrow Agreement?
A vendor may cease operations, change direction, or change its commercial terms while you have no ready alternative.
The system your organization depends on every day then falls outside your control: no maintenance, no upgrades, no migration.
Ongoing projects and regulatory obligations are affected, because the source code is held by one party only.
A software escrow agreement protects all parties and ensures business continuity with trust and security.
How Escrow.sa Works
Three clear steps: automated deposits, engineer verification, and a fair, documented release.
1
Create the Agreement
Vendor, beneficiary and escrow agent e-sign a tripartite agreement, then the repository is connected directly to the platform.
✓ E-signature with bilingual documents
✓ GitHub / GitLab connected in minutes
✓ Automatic sync every 10 minutes
2
Verify & Monitor
An expert engineer runs every deposit to confirm it works, and the platform documents every operation with precision.
✓ Every deposit actually executed
✓ SHA-256 fingerprint for every version
✓ Permanent, tamper-proof audit trail
3
Release & Deliver
When support stops or an agreed condition is met, the release request passes a controlled review and the code is delivered to the beneficiary securely.
✓ Clear release triggers in the agreement
✓ Legal, technical and administrative review
✓ Secure, documented delivery

For beneficiaries
A government entity, bank or company relying on systems from external vendors? Guarantee business continuity even if the vendor goes bankrupt or stops support — with an up-to-date, verified copy of the code, released to you under clear conditions.
For vendors and startups
Big clients hesitate to sign with you over continuity concerns? An escrow agreement removes that hesitation: your code remains yours and protected, and your client gains the confidence they need to sign.
