Escrow Agreement - Secure Your Transactions with a Neutral Third Party
An Escrow Agreement is a legal contract where a neutral third party, called the Escrow Agent, holds funds on behalf of a buyer and seller until specific conditions are met. This is a vital document for providing security and trust in a transaction. It ensures that the seller delivers on their promises and the buyer's money is safe until all obligations are fulfilled.
Parties and Escrow Deposit
This section identifies all three parties: the buyer, the seller, and the neutral escrow agent. It specifies the exact amount of money to be held in the escrow account and the deadline for the buyer to deposit the funds.
Release Conditions and Duties of the Escrow Agent
The agreement clearly defines the conditions that must be met before the funds can be released. The escrow agent's primary duty is to hold the funds securely and only disburse them upon receiving joint written instructions from both the buyer and the seller. The document also clarifies that the escrow agent is not responsible for the underlying transaction between the parties, and their liability is limited.
Fees and Termination
This part of the agreement outlines the fees for the escrow service and specifies how those fees will be split between the parties. It also defines when the agreement will automatically terminate, typically upon the full disbursement of the funds.
Governing Law & Jurisdiction
This is a crucial section for any international agreement. It specifies which country's laws will govern the contract and which courts will have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes. This provides a clear legal framework and a predictable path for conflict resolution.
