- Frequently Asked Questions

Many of the answers to your questions can be found here.

How long is an escrow agreement valid for?

By default, it adapts to the main contract between the user customer and his/her supplier. An escrow agreement may also be extended by automatic annual renewal with two months’ notice.

Who pays for the service?

The end user being the main beneficiary of an escrow agreement will usually pay for the service. Please note however that some editors pay for an escrow agreement for their own developments in order to provide, on a sales and marketing basis, the necessary continuity guarantees that some of their customers may require.

What are the release provisions?

The purpose of an Escrow Agreement is to provide for the conditions under which the end user (beneficiary) will be able to access the items filed by the supplier (depositor) with the trusted third party (escrow agent).
Release provisions are the essential part of the escrow agreement. Should supplier failure occur, potentially resulting in a collective procedure, the termination of software or product maintenance, business termination, inability to reach certain objectives, etc., they will determine how things are done.

What is the scope of an Escrow Agreement contract?

The Escrow Agreement contract has an international scope. It is based on the principle of copyright recognized by all the signatory countries of the Berne Convention, governed in France by Articles L111-1 et seq. of the Intellectual Property Law.
