Software Escrow

All of the stability, longevity, and economic benefits of an on premise application can evaporate in seconds if your vendor is unable to support your application. Any investment in on premise technology should include contingency plans for vendor failure, application sunsetting, or other support breaches. Software escrow helps you realize the full potential of your investment and PRAXIS offers a full range of services to help you protect your investment.
Types of Escrow with Praxisescrow

Source Code Escrow

In the event of software failure source code is typically required to modify, support or maintain an application. The practice of requiring a source code escrow as part of a larger transaction is the cornerstone of any protection plan for licensed technology assets or significant investments in technology.

Source code escrow agreements are often used to support:

  • Software license agreements
  • SaaS agreements
  • OEM agreements
  • Joint Ventures
  • Partnerships
  • Embedded technologies
  • Investments in software companies

Domain Name Escrow

When buying or selling high-value domain names, security, trust, and transparency are critical. PRAXIS offers professional domain name escrow services, ensuring that your domain escrow transactions are handled safely and efficiently by a professional, neutral third party. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or broker, our customizable domain escrow agreements provide a secure way to facilitate high value domain transfers, protect your interests, and reduce risks.

Technology Praxisescrow

Technology Escrow

Proprietary technology can be the cornerstone of your business and even an entire industry. It can also be a common focal point in disputes and litigation. Whenever you find yourself reliant upon someone else’s intellectual property (i.e. designs, manufacturing processes, knowledge, client lists, and more), consider structuring a contingency plan to provide access to the technology in question should the relationship falter.
SaaS software Praxisescrow

SaaS Escrow

No matter where your application is hosted, loss of functionality can be catastrophic for your business. Despite the many economic and administrative advantages over on premise applications, the implications of extended downtime can jeopardize your future, particularly if you do not have access to your data. PRAXIS has a full range of solutions to make your move to the cloud safe!

Technology as Collateral Escrow

In today’s technology-driven world, intellectual property and software assets have become some of the most valuable resources a company possesses. When seeking financing, these assets can be leveraged as collateral in escrow agreements, giving businesses a powerful tool for securing loans without traditional physical collateral. PRAXIS Technology Escrow provides a secure, SOC2-compliant environment to protect these critical assets, ensuring that both lenders and borrowers have peace of mind.

Joint Venture Escrow

Joint ventures are becoming an increasingly popular way for companies to collaborate, innovate, and expand into new markets. However, entering into a joint venture involves significant risks, especially regarding intellectual property (IP) and the protection of critical assets. At PRAXIS Technology Escrow, we offer tailored escrow solutions designed specifically for joint ventures, ensuring that all parties involved can operate with confidence and security.

IP Escrow

Intellectual property (IP) such as scientific formulas, proprietary designs, manufacturing processes, and recipes are valuable assets that require robust protection. Whether you’re developing pharmaceuticals, innovative products, or unique manufacturing techniques, it’s critical to secure these valuable assets in case of business disputes, partnerships, or unforeseen events.

Quality Assurance

Deposit Material Evaluation (DME)

Once the escrow is complete and legal protection is in place DME (an optional service) will provide a detailed visual inspection of each escrow deposit and subsequent update to confirm:

A. Media is accessible
B. Passwords are included and functional
C. Visually confirm the presence of materials
D. Inventory the materials received
E. Provide a summary report

While these steps do not guarantee functionality, they do often find obvious shortfalls in escrow deposits.

Tehnical verification Praxis

Technical Verification

The next step on the continuum of protection is a Technical Verification to ensure that the Deposit Materials as provided by the Depositor can be utilized to compile the source code into the application and test the executables. This is a short term technology project to prove the functionality of your escrow deposit. PRAXIS offers a complete range of testing options for both on premise and SaaS applications.
