Deposit and Escrow Clause Samples
The Deposit and Escrow clause establishes the requirement for a party to provide a deposit, which is then held by a neutral third party (the escrow agent) until certain conditions of the agreement are met. Typically, this involves the buyer depositing funds that are only released to the seller upon fulfillment of agreed-upon obligations, such as the completion of a transaction or delivery of goods. This clause ensures that both parties are protected: the seller knows the funds are available, and the buyer is assured that payment will only be made if the contract terms are satisfied, thereby reducing the risk of non-performance or fraud.
