Questions

Escrow FAQ

What is escrow in a data room?

Escrow keeps documents or source code locked in a dedicated room until the release rules accepted by all parties are met.

Is the release automatic?

No. When a condition is met, all parties receive a notice, and an authorised party can object before the content is released.

Can source code be held in escrow?

Yes. You connect a repository from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, with read-only access, and a new deposit is made at every new release.

How is escrow activated?

Escrow is activated on request, case by case, for professional customers. Request a demo to discuss it.

Who can object to a release?

An authorised party, once during the notice period that starts when a release condition is met. The designated third party, chosen by the parties, decides on the objection under the accepted rules.

Do the parties need an account?

No. Outside parties join from a link with a one-time code sent by email.
