FAQ
Who is Rampart Escrow built for?
Companies developing and operating data centers, and the businesses committing to their capacity, racks, hardware, and compute. Escrow can provide a shared framework for customer deposits, vendor payments, and performance-linked releases.
Is this real estate or title escrow?
No. Rampart focuses on commercial agreements between businesses: capacity reservations, colocation commitments, equipment procurement, compute rentals, and related deposits. Property purchases, title transfers, and real estate closings are outside this offering.
What triggers a disbursement?
The executed escrow agreement controls. Release conditions can be structured around written certifications, specified documents, joint instructions, or other agreed evidence. The parties define the conditions; escrow does not itself certify the engineering quality of a facility or equipment.
What happens if a milestone is missed or disputed?
The agreement should specify any cure period, cancellation or refund rights, and the treatment of disputed amounts. Disputed funds can remain held pending the agreed resolution mechanism, such as joint written instructions or an applicable binding order.
Who receives the interest earned?
The parties agree how interest is allocated and how applicable fees are handled. Those terms are documented alongside the account structure and release instructions, so the economics are clear before funding.
What do we need to get started?
Start with a description of the transaction, the parties, expected deposit size, currency, timeline, and proposed release milestones. We'll discuss the structure and the information needed for onboarding and account setup.
