For end users and web site operators
Have you ever wondered what might happen if your web master decided not to pick up the phone one day? What would be the outcome if your E-commerce website was hacked or lost due to hosting failure and you couldn't get your web master to re-install it, or worse they didn't even have a copy?

It may not be something you want to think about, but relationships do sour and providers do abandon developments, become insolvent or sell out to larger companies.

Do you know who owns your website or bespoke software? You? Are you sure? ...... The fact is a huge number of website operators and small developers totally ignore this question and once the money starts rolling in, these questions become increasingly important. Unless you have a written agreement that says that YOU own the rights to your website, then the cold fact is you probably don't! Shocked? Don't be... software and websites come under the same law as written copyright. Just because you bought a copy of the lastest Harry Potter® novel dosen't mean you own the rights does it? Well, just because you paid your local software guy £10,000 to develop your e-commerce and intranet software dosen't mean you own that either. The story dosen't end there, this applies probably to your web site domain name also... Are you the registrant owner or is your webmaster the registrant and owner?

How can we help?
We provide simple, affordable and understandable software and website escrow services that create a 3-way agreement between you, us and your developer that gives you agreed access to your business critical data in the occurrance of an agreed trigger event. Your developer lodges a copy of your data with us, and should a trigger event be reported and validated we will release a copy of your information and help to implement its restoration (if you choose that service). Traditionally this has been a very complex and expensive operation, however we have devised simple and largely self administrated service that offers outstanding value for money.

Our basic self file service costs just £250.00 +VAT with an annual renewal of just £60.00 +VAT
