Source code escrow is defined as follows :-
"Source code escrow means deposit of the source code of the software into an account held by a third party escrow agent. Escrow is typically requested by a party licensing software (the licensee), to ensure maintenance of the software. The software source code is released to the licensee if the licensor files for bankruptcy or otherwise fails to maintain and update the software as promised in the software license agreement.
Source code escrow services may be very limited, such as verifying that media is readable, or very comprehensive, such as doing a complete build of the software based on the source code and verifying that features match the binary version."
