An Escrow Software Programs contract can take many forms contingent on the needs of the parties. Although the traditional Escrow agreement is a three-way contract between a digital asset owner, a beneficiary and trusted third party, it is not the only possible formation. First, it is possible to escrow an asset purely via a special clause introduced in a contract (Escrow clause), but it is also possible to have a quadripartite agreement connecting a distributor on top of the traditional tripartite contract. An Escrow can also help a recipient manage his dependencies to his supplier (Beneficiary Escrow contract) or can be concluded between a SaaS and a beneficiary (SaaS Escrow).

 An agreement covering an escrow clause is signed between the Beneficiary and the Digital Asset Owner. This escrow clause can be a separate contract or part of a broader agreement come into between the Beneficiary and the Digital Asset Owner. We at Escrowtech a Software Escrow Agreement Company are happy to assist Digital Asset Owners in drafting an escrow clause. 

The Escrow Agent is not a party to the agreement covering the escrow clause. Though, the Escrow Agent is mentioned in the clause as the trusted entity with which a copy of the Digital Asset Owner will be placed for safety. The escrow clause also mentions under which conditions the escrowed Digital Asset may be released, to whom and under which circumstances. In the escrow clause, the Digital Asset Owner accepts to deposit the Digital Asset with the Escrow Agent. This includes a contract between the Digital Asset Owner and the Escrow Agent.

The shortcoming to the Basic Escrow Contract is that the Escrow Agent is not a party to the contract with the Beneficiary. This can create problems when the Beneficiary wishes to access the Digital Asset, mostly because, from a legal position, the Escrow Agent, who is not a party to the agreement between the Digital Asset Owner and the Recipient, cannot be bound by said contract.
