By fostering trust between vendors and users, source code escrow protects software investments and ensures uninterrupted access to critical resources.

How Source Code Escrow works

Step 1

Establishment of a contract

A formal agreement is formed between the seller, the user, and the escrow provider, and defines the terms, conditions, and criteria for the transfer.

Step 2

Source code installation

The vendor places the source code and related assets in a secure escrow account on a cloud platform with CastlerCode.

Step 3

Constant verification and updates

Castler will ensure that the code is up to date and working through periodic reviews, including updates provided by the vendor

Step 4

Conditions of Release

When certain conditions are met, such as a vendor’s bankruptcy or breach of contract, the escrow code is released to the user, allowing the business to proceed.
