Escrow agreement

An Escrow agreement is a specific contract which consists, for the supplier of a product or service, in entrusting to an escrow third party essential elements (software, databases, documents, etc.) for the use of this product or the provision of this service. The objective is to ensure that a third party (client, partner, etc.) has access to it, in accordance with the provisions laid down between the parties, and in particular in the event of a supplier default.
There are 2 forms of escrow:  

• The Bipartite Escrow Agreement The agreement is signed by 2 parties (the supplier and the trusted third party). It is accompanied by a list of one or more beneficiaries.
• The Tripartite Escrow Agreement The agreement is signed by the 3 parties (the trusted third party, the supplier, the customer)

Content verification

When depositing as part of an escrow, checking the content of the deposit (often code) is essential to ensure long-term maintenance of the deposit. By not checking the content of a deposit, you have no guarantee that all the elements deposited are present and usable. Different types of verification can be effectuated depending on the trusted third party chosen.

Web interface

With the acceleration of document scanning and the constant increase in the number of digital assets, there is also the risk of altering digital content, it can be difficult to prove the integrity of a document or of a digital asset. Therefore, the certified timestamping becomes a necessity.

A certified timestamp and secure archiving can effectively guarantee that when a digital document is created, it becomes the equivalent of an original paper document with certified creation date and time. Time-stamped documents or their copies held by you or by third parties can be compared, from the point of view of their integrity, to the original time-stamped certified and archived at a trusted third party and thus proven true.

Invoices, signed contracts, medical notes, pricing information, graphics, stock values, measurements, drawings, collaborative work efforts, strategic documents, personal data notes, can all be timestamped and archived to possess an unforgeable content and serve as an evidence for regulation and litigation purposes.
