ARCHIVE Snowflake Provider Terms of Service - 2022-09-20
This is an archived version of our Snowflake Provider Terms of Service dated September 20, 2022. View the current version here.
- IMPORTANT TERMS.
- These Terms are entered into by and between Snowflake Inc. and Provider to govern Provider’s use of the Listing Functionality as a Listing Provider.
- Provider’s use of the Service and any Account(s) is governed by Provider’s Customer Agreement. For clarity, any claims arising in connection with the Service and/or any Account will be made under the Customer Agreement and not these Terms. These Terms and the Provider Policies take precedence in that order in the event of a conflict to the extent such conflict relates to Provider’s use of the Listing Functionality as a Listing Provider.
- Use of the Listing Functionality is dependent on certain features of the Service (e.g., data sharing and replication), and utilizing such features in connection with the Listing Functionality will subject Provider to charges for those features as governed by Provider’s Customer Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Listing Functionality is not part of the Service.
- Provider’s Org Admin is required to accept these Terms and, by accepting these Terms, represents and warrants that they have the authority to do so on behalf of Provider. Without limiting Section 17.10 (Entire Agreement), as of the Effective Date, previously signed agreements covering Provider’s use of the Listing Functionality as a Listing Provider do not apply and are superseded by these Terms.
- By indicating acceptance of these Terms or using the Listing Functionality, Provider is accepting all the terms and conditions of these Terms.
- These Terms are enforceable like any written agreement signed by Provider and Snowflake Inc.
- If Provider purchased the Service through a reseller, Provider will continue to pay such reseller for the Service. However, Provider’s use of the Listing Functionality, including any payments related to the Monetization Offering, will be subject to these Terms.
- If Provider’s billing address is in the Canadian province of Quebec, Section 19 (Regional Terms) sets forth additional terms that apply to Provider’s use of the Listing Functionality.
- DEFINITIONS. The definitions in Section 18 (Defined Terms) apply to these Terms. All terms in quotation marks in the body of these Terms are also defined terms.
- INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATION. Provider can use the Listing Functionality to offer its Provider Materials to a select group of one or more Listing Consumers or more broadly to Listing Consumers via the Marketplace. All Product Agreements entered into by Provider for Transactions are between Provider and Listing Consumers. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in these Terms, Snowflake is not acting as an agent in any capacity for Provider or Listing Consumers.
- PROVIDER’S GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES.
- Provider Compliance with Policies. Provider will comply with the Provider Policies.
- Provider Materials. Provider is solely responsible for its Provider Materials (including the accuracy, content, and legality of such Provider Materials), and Snowflake bears no responsibility or liability for such Provider Materials. Provider represents and warrants that it has all necessary rights and permissions to provide and, if applicable, sell the Provider Materials to Snowflake and Listing Consumers as contemplated in these Terms.
- Customer Support. Provider acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Provider is responsible for all support and maintenance matters relating to its Products and Product Agreements; (ii) Snowflake will refer all such matters to Provider; and (iii) Provider will handle such matters regarding the Provider Materials and the Product Agreements, including any use of a Product; in each case, unless such matters are substantially caused by the acts or omissions of Snowflake. Provider will be solely responsible for addressing any inquiries or requests from Listing Consumers regarding the Product Agreements and Provider Materials, including any inquiries or requests related to quality, content, errors, or refunds. Provider will provide and maintain its contact information in the Listing Information and will be reasonably available to Listing Consumers for all such inquiries and such requests on a regular basis. Snowflake will notify Provider of matters brought to Snowflake’s attention by Listing Consumers.
- Transactions and Product Agreements. Any Product Agreement that Provider enters into with a Listing Consumer, whether written or oral, will be between Provider and the applicable Listing Consumer only. Under no circumstances is Snowflake a party to any such Product Agreement. Provider acknowledges and agrees that it, and not Snowflake, will be responsible for performing the obligations of any Product Agreements with Listing Consumers, and Snowflake disclaims all responsibility and liability arising from or related to any Product Agreement.
- Provider Compliance with Applicable Law. Provider represents and warrants that it will comply with all applicable laws in connection with using the Listing Functionality, including in connection with all Transactions and Provider Materials.
- Product Agreement. When executing a Transaction with a Listing Consumer, Provider shall enter into a Product Agreement with the Listing Consumer. Each Product Agreement must include, at a minimum, terms providing that: (i) the agreement is between Provider and the Listing Consumer, not Snowflake; and (ii) Provider is solely responsible and liable for the Provider Materials and the obligations in the Provider Agreement, including any maintenance and support services.
- LISTING CONSUMER USE. Provider acknowledges that Snowflake has no control over or responsibility for how Listing Consumers use Provider Materials. Snowflake is under no obligation to monitor or otherwise limit Listing Consumers’ use of any Provider Materials, including use of any database functions in a Product or use of any information from a Product. Provider’s sole remedy for any actual or apparent misuse of Provider Materials by a Listing Consumer is between Provider and the applicable Listing Consumer.
- PERSONAL INFORMATION.
- Provided By Snowflake. For any Personal Information that is provided to Provider by or on behalf of Snowflake, or otherwise collected by Provider from Snowflake or from the Listing Functionality, Provider agrees that it, and all third parties and Affiliates (as applicable) who are provided or otherwise process the Personal Information, shall (i) not Sell, Combine, or Share the Personal Information, (ii) not use the Personal Information in a manner that could cause any exchange of the Personal Information to qualify as a Sale or Share of the Personal Information, (iii) only use the Personal Information for Transactions and, if Provider has obtained all required consents, marketing communications limited to Products, in each case, in accordance with Provider’s public-facing privacy notice and applicable law, (iv) keep the Personal Information secure, using industry standard or better measures, and (v) cooperate with Snowflake in the satisfaction of any data subject requests. Further transfers of the Personal Information by Provider (if any) must comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing such transfer, including any required data subject notice and/or consent. Provider shall provide Snowflake a link to Provider’s public-facing privacy notice when requested and such link will be included on any Snowflake site where Personal Information of a Listing Consumer is collected by or on behalf of Provider in connection with a Transaction. Provider shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure such link remains up-to-date and operational.
- In Provider Materials. Provider shall not disclose or reveal Sensitive Personal Information to Listing Consumers in any Provider Materials offered to Listing Consumers via the Marketplace. If any Personal Information is included within the Provider Materials, Provider represents and warrants that it complies with all applicable laws, including that Provider (i) collects, discloses, transfers, and maintains the Personal Information in accordance with such laws (e.g., obtaining any required consents), and (ii) enters into any legally required terms with Listing Consumers prior to a Transaction.
- TERMINATING ACCESS TO PROVIDER MATERIALS AND LISTING FUNCTIONALITY.
- By Provider. Subject to these Terms, the Provider Policies, and any existing obligations between Provider and any Listing Consumer (including any refund requirements), Provider may stop using the Listing Functionality to share its Provider Materials, including any associated Product.
- By Snowflake. While Snowflake has no duty or obligation to review, accept or deny, monitor, or otherwise control any Provider Materials, Snowflake reserves the right to limit, suspend, or terminate Provider’s access to or use of the Listing Functionality (and, if applicable, Listing Consumers’ access, use, and purchase of Provider Materials) at any time, if Snowflake determines that: (i) Provider is violating any applicable laws, policies, or agreements (including these Terms and the Provider Policies); (ii) Provider is abusing Snowflake’s services; or (iii) Provider is creating legal, regulatory, security, or reputational risks for Snowflake; in each case without liability to Snowflake. Listing Information may be modified, obfuscated, or removed at any time if Snowflake determines that it: (i) does not comply with these Terms and/or the Provider Policies; (ii) is creating legal, regulatory, security, or reputational risks for Snowflake; or (iii) is otherwise unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Snowflake is under no obligation to monitor Provider’s compliance with these Terms or its Provider Policies. This Section 7.2 does not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any expectation that Provider Materials shared using the Listing Functionality will not contain any content that is prohibited by these Terms.
- Cure. Snowflake will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice to Provider to cure its failures before limiting, suspending, or terminating Provider’s access to or use of the Listing Functionality unless (i) the Terms are terminated or (ii) in Snowflake’s opinion (a) the provision of such notice is restricted by applicable law, (b) the provision of such notice, or failing to timely limit, suspend, or terminate Provider’s access to or use of the Listing Functionality would otherwise harm Snowflake, its customers, or any other third party, or (c) such failure is not reasonably capable of cure.
- THIRD-PARTY NOTICES. If applicable, Provider will promptly handle any Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown requests, and other notices of alleged infringement or illegality, or violation of third-party rights relating to the Provider Materials, as necessary to comply with applicable law, and will promptly notify Snowflake of any such requests or notices.
- LICENSES AND OWNERSHIP.
- Listings. The Listing Functionality, including the text, graphics, images, photographs, videos, illustrations, and other content contained therein (other than Provider Materials), is owned by Snowflake or Snowflake’s licensors and is protected under both United States and foreign laws. Except as explicitly stated in these Terms, all rights in and to the Listing Functionality are reserved by Snowflake or Snowflake’s licensors, as applicable. Subject to Provider’s compliance with these Terms, Provider is hereby granted a limited, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive license to access and use the Listing Functionality.
- Listing Information. Subject to these Terms and solely in connection with operating, improving, and marketing the Listing Functionality, Provider hereby grants to Snowflake a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free right to process, modify, create derivative works of, display, and make available the Listing Information consistent with Provider’s selected Listing Consumer audiences, which may be: (i) all Listing Consumers via the Marketplace and Snowflake’s website; or (ii) select Listing Consumers designated by Provider.
- In-Marketplace Marketing. To the extent that Provider participates in the Marketplace as a Listing Provider, Snowflake may use Provider’s name, logo, trademarks, and service marks (with modifications to optimize their viewing) in the Marketplace, Snowflake’s website, and Snowflake’s marketing materials in connection with identifying Provider as a Listing Provider on the Marketplace.
- Provider Materials. Provider hereby authorizes Snowflake to process, display, and make available the Provider Materials only to the extent necessary to perform its obligations, including to address service or technical problems, under these Terms and to exercise its rights subject to Section 9 (Licenses and Ownership).
- MONETIZATION OFFERING, ACCESS, AND USE.
- Monetization Offering. Snowflake makes available to Provider a Provider-controlled offering that allows for the invoicing and collection of payments with respect to Products (the “Monetization Offering”). Provider is responsible for setting the Product Cost and including it in the Listing Information. In providing the Monetization Offering to Provider, Snowflake is not the seller of record of any Products.
- Monetization Transaction.
- Payment Processor. Payment Processor carries out the processing and settlement of Transactions utilizing the Monetization Offering (“Payment Processing”). Provider’s use of the Monetization Offering is subject to a separate agreement between Provider and Payment Processor (the “Processor Agreement”). Snowflake is not a party to the Processor Agreement and is not responsible for the performance of such Processor Agreement. By accepting these Terms and the Processor Agreement, Provider is agreeing to create an account with the Payment Processor for Payment Processing (the “Processor Account”). Snowflake reserves the right to change the Payment Processor, subject to the terms of its own agreement with the Payment Processor.
- Invoicing. For Transactions utilizing the Monetization Offering, Snowflake will issue an invoice to each Listing Consumer for the use of Products in accordance with the Supplemental Documentation (the “Product Invoice”). The Product Invoice will be issued to the Listing Consumer’s account with the Payment Processor, as described in the Supplemental Documentation, and will reflect the Product Cost and, subject to Section 10.4 (Taxes), any Taxes.
- Payments. Each Listing Consumer’s payment of the Product Cost (and, subject to Section 10.4 (Taxes), any Taxes) to the Payment Processor in accordance with the Product Invoice will be deemed to constitute payment to Provider of amounts due by Listing Consumer. Snowflake is not responsible for delivery of any payment to Provider under a Transaction where Product Costs are not actually received by Payment Processor. Except as provided in Section 10.3.3 (Refunds) or when required by law, all Product Costs (and, subject to Section 10.4 (Taxes), any Taxes) paid by Listing Consumers to Payment Processor are non-refundable.
- Fees and Reports.
- Fees and Expenses. Provider is responsible for the Fees set forth in the Monetization Offering Fee Schedule. Prior to issuing a Product Invoice, Snowflake will calculate the amount owed to Provider, which shall equal the Product Cost minus: (i) the Fees; (ii) any Taxes determined to be required in accordance with Section 10.4 (Taxes); and (iii) any other expenses incurred by Snowflake on Provider’s behalf in the performance of its duties under these Terms (the “Provider’s Net Payment”). Snowflake will instruct Payment Processor to: (i) issue the Product Invoice to the Listing Consumer; and (ii) pay Provider’s Net Payment to Provider no less than 30 days after collection of Product Cost (and, subject to Section 10.4 (Taxes), any Taxes) by Payment Processor from the Listing Consumer.
- Right to Offset Payment. In calculating Provider’s Net Payment, Snowflake may offset any amounts that are or were: (i) based on Provider Materials that were not delivered to the Listing Consumer (e.g., due to termination of the Terms, removal or modification of the Provider Materials by Provider, limitation, suspension, or termination of Provider’s access to or use of the Listing Functionality by Snowflake in accordance with these Terms, or for Provider’s failure to comply with the Provider Policies); (ii) subject to billing disputes for Provider Materials, except in cases that Snowflake reasonably determines are initiated by a Listing Consumer with an abnormal dispute history; or (iii) overpayment by Snowflake to Provider in prior periods, whether as a result of miscalculation by Snowflake, Provider, and/or Payment Processor.
- Refunds. To the extent there are any payment disputes (including any refund requests or other payment requests) between Provider and a Listing Consumer, any adjustment to Provider’s Net Payment must be agreed upon directly between Provider and the Listing Consumer. Provider will instruct Payment Processor to process refunds or reverse any payments from Provider’s Net Payment in accordance with the Supplemental Documentation.
- Reports. Snowflake will provide reports regarding the Transactions made using the Monetization Offering. These reports will include the information described in the Supplemental Documentation about the Products accessed, used, and purchased by Listing Consumers, including the Product Cost, Fees, Provider’s Net Payment, and, subject to Section 10.4 (Taxes), any Taxes. Any data provided in these reports regarding Listing Consumers constitutes Listing Usage Data.
- Taxes. All Product Costs and Fees are exclusive of Taxes. Provider is responsible for calculating, invoicing, and paying all Taxes associated with the Product Cost and Fees. Snowflake will not determine whether any Taxes apply to a Transaction and is not responsible for calculating, invoicing, or paying any such Taxes. Despite the foregoing, where required by law, Snowflake shall calculate and collect Taxes from Provider or the Listing Consumer (as applicable) and issue a compliant tax invoice for those Taxes. In the event any Taxes are withheld from the Fees received by Snowflake, Provider will pay such additional amounts as are necessary, so the net amount received by Snowflake equals the amounts due to it hereunder, as if there were no withholding or deduction. Provider may present Snowflake with an exemption certificate eliminating Provider’s and Snowflake’s liability to pay certain Taxes. Once Snowflake has received and approved the exemption certificate, Provider will be exempt from those Taxes on a going-forward basis. If a taxing jurisdiction determines that Provider is not exempt from Taxes and assesses those Taxes, Provider will pay those Taxes to Snowflake, plus any applicable interest or penalties. The VAT/GST Registration Number provided by Provider shall be used to confirm the business use of the Listing Functionality.
- TERM AND TERMINATION.
- Term and Termination. The term begins on the Effective Date and will renew automatically on a month-to-month basis until either Party provides the other Party written notice of such terminating Party’s intent to terminate (“Term”).
- Survival. This Section 11 and the following sections will survive any termination of the Terms: Sections 1 (Important Terms); 5 (Listing Consumer Use); 6.1 (Personal Information Provided by Snowflake); 8 (Third-Party Notices); 10.2 (Monetization Transaction); 10.3 (Fees and Reports); 10.4 (Taxes); 13 (Feedback and Product Improvement); 14 (Indemnification); 15 (Warranty and Disclaimer); 16 (Limitations of Liability); 17 (General Terms); and 18 (Defined Terms).
- Effect of Termination. Upon termination of these Terms, Provider will stop using the Listing Functionality to share any Listing Information with Listing Consumers. Further, Provider will allow Listing Consumers who are accessing or using its Provider Materials to continue to access and use the Provider Materials until (i) the expiration or termination of the Product Agreement, or (ii) in accordance with the Provider Policies for the dropping of a share. The end of this time period will be the “Effective Termination Date.” No termination will entitle Provider to any refund nor affect Provider’s obligation to pay all Fees or affect Snowflake’s obligation to pay Provider’s Net Payment (subject to Section 10.3 (Fees and Reports) above) that may have become due or otherwise accrued through the Effective Termination Date.
- PREVIEWS. Snowflake may from time to time make available to Provider Previews, as may be identified through the release notes and generally identified in the Supplemental Documentation. No information or advice, whether oral or written, obtained from Snowflake or through the Previews will create any warranty. Provider may use Previews solely for internal evaluation purposes and will not use Previews to process Personal Information, Sensitive Personal Information, or other data that is subject to any compliance or legal requirements. Snowflake may change or discontinue Previews at any time without notice. Snowflake also may choose not to make a Preview generally available. Snowflake may use information about Provider’s use and evaluation of Previews for Snowflake’s product improvement and development. Non-public information about a Preview is deemed to be the Confidential Information of Snowflake.
- FEEDBACK AND PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT.
- Feedback. At its option, Snowflake may freely use and incorporate into its products and services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by Provider or by any Authorized Users relating to Snowflake’s products or services (“Feedback”).
- Listing Usage Data. Snowflake may collect and use Listing Usage Data to develop, improve, support, and operate its products and services.
- INDEMNIFICATION.
- Indemnification by Snowflake. Snowflake will defend Provider against any claim by a third party alleging that the Listing Functionality, when used in accordance with these Terms, infringes any intellectual property right of such third party and will indemnify Provider for any damages, costs, and, if applicable, attorneys’ fees finally awarded against Provider or agreed in settlement by Snowflake resulting from such claim. The foregoing obligations of Snowflake will not apply to the extent the applicable claim is attributable to any materials not provided by Snowflake (including, without limitation, any Provider Materials) either alone or in combination with the Listing Functionality.
- Indemnification by Provider. Provider will defend Snowflake against any claim by a third party arising from or relating to: (i) any Provider Materials, and (ii) Provider’s breach of these Terms and the Provider Policies; and Provider will indemnify Snowflake for any damages, costs, and, if applicable, attorneys’ fees awarded against Snowflake or agreed in settlement by Provider resulting from such claim.
- Indemnification Procedures. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this Section 14, each Party (the “Indemnified Party”) will: (i) promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the claim; (ii) allow the Indemnifying Party the right to control the investigation, defense and settlement (if applicable) of such claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense; and (iii) upon request of the Indemnifying Party, provide all necessary cooperation at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of a claim under this Section 14 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 14. However, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any litigation expenses that the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the time when notice is given or for any damages and/or costs resulting from any material prejudice caused by the delay or failure to provide notice to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 14. The Indemnifying Party may not settle any claim that would bind the Indemnified Party to any obligation (other than payment covered by the Indemnifying Party or ceasing to use infringing materials) or require any admission of fault by the Indemnified Party, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Any indemnification obligation under this Section 14 will not apply if the Indemnified Party settles or makes any admission with respect to a claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent.
- WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER.
Subject to Section 13 (Previews), Snowflake warrants that the Listing Functionality will work in substantial conformity with the Supplemental Documentation. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms and without limiting any provisions in any other agreement, the Listing Functionality is provided to Provider and Listing Consumers on an as-is and as-available basis and, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Snowflake makes no representations or warranties of any kind, implied or expressed, with respect to the Listing Functionality including warranties of merchantability, title, non-infringement, or fitness for a particular purpose, which are disclaimed. Snowflake does not represent or warrant that the use of the Listing Functionality will be uninterrupted or error-free.
- LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.
- Exclusion of Damages. In no event will either Party be liable to the other Party or any third party for any incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including loss of income, data, profits, revenue, or business interruption, or the cost of substitute services or other economic loss, arising out of or in connection with these Terms, whether such liability arises from any claim based on contract, warranty, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not such party has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage.
- Total Liability. Other than with respect to either Party’s payment obligations under these Terms, the Parties’ obligations under Section 14 (Indemnification), and claims based on liability which, by law, cannot be limited (e.g., tort claims for gross negligence and intentional misconduct), in no event will either Party’s total liability to the other Party or any third party for all claims in the aggregate (for damages or liability of any type) in connection with these Terms exceed $50,000 (USD).
- GENERAL TERMS.
- Assignment. These Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of each Party’s permitted successors and assigns. Neither Party may assign these Terms without the advance written consent of the other Party, except that Snowflake may assign these Terms in their entirety to any Affiliate without restriction. Snowflake will promptly provide notice of any such assignment. Any other attempt to assign these Terms will be null and void.
- Subcontracting. Either Party may use subcontractors and other third-party providers in connection with the performance of its activities under these Terms as it deems appropriate, provided that each Party remains responsible for the performance of each such subcontractor or third-party provider.
- Snowflake Affiliates. While Snowflake Inc. remains fully liable and responsible for all Snowflake obligations under these Terms, the Parties acknowledge that certain obligations under these Terms may be fulfilled by Snowflake Inc.’s Affiliates.
- Severability and Interpretation. If a court of competent jurisdiction holds any provision of these Terms to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms will otherwise remain in effect. Section headings are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of these Terms.
- Confidentiality. Each Party (as the “Receiving Party”) will use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but not less than reasonable care) to: (i) not use any Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) for any purpose outside the scope of these Terms; and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes consistent with these Terms and who are bound by confidentiality obligations to the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. If the Receiving Party is required by law or court order to disclose Confidential Information, then the Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Disclosing Party with advance written notification and cooperate in any effort to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
- Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and the United States without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods; and the jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter hereof will be the state and federal courts located in New Castle County, Delaware, and both Parties hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
- Notice. All notices must be in writing (in English) and addressed to the Parties via email: (i) for Snowflake, notice must be sent to legalnotices@snowflake.com; and (ii) for Provider, to the email address of an Org Admin as configured in the Service. Notices will be deemed given upon receipt. Either Party may change its email address for notices under these Terms by providing the other Party written notice in accordance with this Section 17.7.
- Changes to Terms. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, Snowflake may update or change these Terms, including by posting updated terms on the Snowflake website. For material changes or changes that may have material impact on Provider, Snowflake will provide reasonable notice to Provider in accordance with Section 17.7 (Notice). For any changes which may cause Provider to be in noncompliance with these Terms, Snowflake will provide 30 days written notice prior to the effective date of such changes. Provider’s sole and exclusive remedy if it does not agree to any updates or changes to these Terms will be to terminate these Terms in accordance with Section 11.1 (Term and Termination). Provider’s failure to terminate these Terms within ten days after any change will constitute Provider’s consent to such change.
- No Waiver. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under these Terms, nor will any waiver be effective unless in a writing signed by the waiving Party.
- Entire Agreement. These Terms are the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the Parties in connection with Provider’s use of the Listing Functionality as a Listing Provider and supersede and cancel all previous written and oral agreements, understandings, and communications relating to the subject matter in these Terms. Each Party represents that, in connection with the Listing Functionality, it has not relied on any term or representation not contained in these Terms.
- Export Control. Provider agrees to comply with all export and import laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions. Provider acknowledges that the Listing Functionality is available in countries around the world (excluding countries, or parts thereof, that are subject to a complete U.S. government embargo) and that Provider has all rights needed for Provider and Snowflake to make Provider’s Listing Information and Products available using the Listing Functionality for use by Consumers in such countries. Without limiting the foregoing, Provider: (i) represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country, or part thereof, that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; (ii) will not (and will not permit any third parties to) access or use the Listing Functionality in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction; and (iii) will not submit or pass through the Listing Functionality any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
- Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms (except for failure to pay applicable Fees and expenses) if the delay or failure results from any cause beyond such Party’s reasonable control that could not have been prevented through the use of commercially reasonable safeguards, including acts of God, labor disputes, or other industrial disturbances, systemic electrical, telecommunications, or other utility failures, earthquake, storms or other elements of nature, blockages, embargoes, riots, public health emergencies (including pandemics and epidemics), acts or orders of government, acts of terrorism, or war.
- Independent Contractors. The Parties to these Terms are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, or agency created hereby between the Parties. Neither Party will have the power to bind the other or incur obligations on the other Party’s behalf unless agreed otherwise. Neither Party’s employees are eligible for any form or type of benefits, including health, life, or disability insurance, offered by the other Party to its employees.
