Build your escrow agreement framework.
Assemble the framework of a software escrow agreement around your deal, then our counsel finalizes it. It is a starting point to review, not a finished contract or legal advice.
Answer a few questions.
Five short steps assemble a framework around your deal. Nothing here is binding, and nothing is legal advice. It is a starting point you take to counsel.
Pick the shape that matches how the software is licensed. Counsel adjusts the detail later.
Sample fields only. Leave anything blank and the framework shows a placeholder. EscrowTech stays neutral between the parties.
Select the situations you are worried about. Counsel words each trigger so it fires when it should, and not before.
Verification is a menu matched to risk, never automatic. The top of the ladder is never standard or included by default.
A read-only summary of your choices. This is a framework to review, not a finished or binding agreement.
This framework is informational and is not legal advice or a binding contract. EscrowTech's in-house counsel drafts and finalizes the escrow agreement, and stays neutral between the parties.
A framework, not a contract.
The wizard organizes the pieces so counsel can move faster. It does not replace the drafting, the review, or the signatures.
A starting framework
Your structure, parties, release conditions, and verification level, assembled in one place to review and share.
The final agreement
EscrowTech's in-house counsel drafts and finalizes the escrow agreement around what the parties negotiate, and stays neutral.
Legal advice
The framework is informational. It is not a finished or binding contract, and it is not a substitute for your own counsel.

Two vaults. One in a granite mountain.
Deposits are held in two physical, US-based vaults, one inside a granite mountain, monitored around the clock. The provider has to satisfy the people who approve the deal, and EscrowTech is the one their legal teams already recognize.
The agreement wizard, answered.
What the wizard does, what it does not do, and what happens once you finish.
What is the software escrow agreement wizard?
It is an interactive tool that assembles the framework of a software escrow agreement around your deal. You answer a few questions about structure, parties, release conditions, and verification, and it puts together a working framework you can review and take to counsel.
Does the wizard create a finished, binding agreement?
No. The wizard produces a starting framework to review, not a finished or binding contract. EscrowTech's in-house counsel drafts and finalizes the actual escrow agreement around what you and the other party negotiate.
Is the wizard legal advice?
No. The wizard and its framework are informational and are not legal advice. It helps you organize the pieces of an escrow arrangement; your own counsel and EscrowTech's counsel handle the legal drafting and review.
What does the wizard ask about?
Four things: the structure (single-beneficiary, multi-beneficiary, or multi-vendor), the parties (the vendor and the beneficiary), the release conditions that would trigger a release, and the verification level you want. The final step assembles those choices into a framework summary.
Who finalizes the agreement?
EscrowTech's in-house counsel finalizes the escrow agreement and stays neutral between the parties. Counsel drafts the escrow agreement only, not the underlying commercial contract between the vendor and the customer.
Can I customize the release conditions?
Yes. The wizard lets you select common triggers such as bankruptcy, ceasing business, or failing to support the software, and counsel refines them so they fire in the situations you are actually worried about.
What happens after I finish the wizard?
You review the framework summary and share it with our team. EscrowTech's counsel uses it as a starting point to draft the escrow agreement, confirm the deposit and verification, and get it reviewed and signed.
Is there a cost to use the wizard?
No. The wizard is free to use and there is no obligation. Pricing for the escrow agreement itself depends on your structure and how far you verify, and we quote it before you commit.
Make it safe to depend on.
Finished the wizard, or want to start with a conversation? Send us your framework and our counsel takes it from there.
