Our expertise in digital escrow agreements offers you comprehensive security and reliable protection for your important data.
What is Digital Escrow?
Digital escrow is a service (escrow escrow) in which a third-party provider (escrow trustee) stores data and digital documents of any kind or even an entire business-critical software system and ensures that these files are accessible in the event of a specific event (e.g. a conflict between the software owner and the software licensee). The purpose of digital escrow is to reduce the customer's dependency and resolve the conflict of interest between provider and customer, thereby ensuring that access is maintained even if the provider is no longer available or, for example, no longer supports the software used.
