As businesses become increasingly dependent on software, SaaS platforms, and proprietary technology, the risks associated with vendor failure, insolvency, or product discontinuation have grown. To manage these risks, companies worldwide rely on software escrow and SaaS escrow agreements administered by independent escrow agents. In global technology transactions, many parties, regardless of headquarters, choose a U.S. based technology

In the early stages of artificial intelligence development, startups face heightened technical and contractual scrutiny from enterprise customers. With accelerated innovation cycles and deep integration dependencies, software developers must balance creativity with risk mitigation.
