1.1 TERMS. This Standard Agreement for Marketplace Products (“Agreement”) sets forth the terms and conditions governing access to, and use of, Product(s) offered by Marketplace Provider on the Marketplace that are listed as subject to this Agreement by Marketplace Consumer. Marketplace Provider’s listing of a Product on the Marketplace subject to these terms, and Marketplace Consumer’s access to, and use of, such Product, constitute each Party’s respective acceptance of this Agreement.
1.2 PARTIES. Marketplace Consumer acknowledges that this Agreement is solely between Marketplace Consumer and Marketplace Provider.
1.3 DEFINITIONS. The definitions in Section 11 (Definitions) apply to this Agreement. All terms in quotation marks in the body of this Agreement are also defined terms.
2.1 MARKETPLACE PROVIDER LICENSE GRANT. Marketplace Provider hereby grants to Marketplace Consumer, its Affiliates, and each of their Users, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to access, use, deploy, operate, and receive the Product subject to and in accordance with this Agreement. Marketplace Provider retains all rights not expressly granted to Marketplace Consumer under this Agreement.
2.2 FEES AND PAYMENTS. If applicable, the Product may be provided on a pricing model as set forth in the Listing Information. Marketplace Consumer is responsible for any Product Cost payable to Marketplace Provider incurred as a result of its use of the Product.
2.3 MARKETPLACE CONSUMER’S AFFILIATES AND USERS. With respect to Affiliates and Users that Marketplace Consumer allows to use the Product: (i) Marketplace Consumer remains responsible for all obligations hereunder arising in connection with such Affiliate’s and User’s processing of the Product; and (ii) Marketplace Consumer agrees to be directly liable for any and all acts and omissions by such Affiliate or User to the same degree as if such acts or omissions were performed by Marketplace Consumer, such that a breach by an Affiliate or a User of the provisions of this Agreement will be deemed to be a breach by Marketplace Consumer.
2.4 USE RESTRICTIONS. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Marketplace Consumer nor any of its Users may: (i) copy the Product, or any material subset thereof; (ii) modify or create derivative works or improvements to the Product, or any material subset thereof, in order to build a competitive product or service; (iii) publish, disseminate, distribute, or provide access of any kind to the Product, or any material subset thereof, to any third party; (iv) sell, sublicense, loan, lease, assign, authorize others to access, use, disclose, or attempt to grant any rights to, the Product, or any material subset thereof, to third parties; (v) except as permitted by law, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Product; (vi) use the Product or any material subset thereof to act as a consultant to third parties, service bureau, or application service provider; or (vii) to the extent the Product is provided in a manner that does not identify an individual, use the Product to create, generate, or infer any information relating to the identity of an individual. Marketplace Consumer will not remove, delete or alter any trademarks, copyright notices, or other proprietary notices of Marketplace Provider or its licensors, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement prohibits Marketplace Consumer from independently developing or building a competitive product or service.
2.5 MARKETPLACE PROVIDER MATERIALS; MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT. Marketplace Provider is solely responsible for the Marketplace Provider Materials, for providing any maintenance and support services in connection with the Product and this Agreement, and for addressing any related inquiries or requests, including those related to quality, content, errors, refunds, or any other matters. Marketplace Consumer acknowledges that Marketplace Provider, not Snowflake, is responsible for addressing any questions, complaints, or claims with respect to the Product or this Agreement.
3.1 PRODUCT. Marketplace Provider will retain all right, title and interest it may have in and to the Product, including all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights therein. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed or interpreted as granting to Marketplace Consumer any rights of ownership or, except as expressly provided herein, any other interest, including all patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and other intellectual property rights, in or to the Product.
3.2 FEEDBACK. Marketplace Provider may freely use and incorporate into Marketplace Provider’s products and services any suggestions, enhancement requests, recommendations, corrections, or other feedback provided by Marketplace Consumer or any of its Users relating to the Product (“Feedback”).
3.3 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The Parties acknowledge that, in the event of any third-party claim that the Marketplace Provider Materials or Marketplace Consumer’s possession and use of the Marketplace Provider Materials infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights, Marketplace Provider will be solely responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any such intellectual property infringement claim, subject to Section 8 (Limitation of Liability).
4.1 PROVIDED BY SNOWFLAKE. Marketplace Provider may receive Marketplace Consumer’s contact information (as it exists in Marketplace Consumer’s Snowflake user profile), general Account details, and details about the Transaction, including usage metrics which identify Marketplace Consumer, from Snowflake, and Marketplace Consumer agrees that Marketplace Provider may use such information only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and its privacy notice provided to Marketplace Consumer during the Transaction, which may include marketing other Products listed by Marketplace Provider on the Marketplace.
4.2 IN MARKETPLACE PROVIDER MATERIALS. When offering the Product through the Marketplace, Marketplace Provider shall not disclose or reveal Sensitive Personal Information to Marketplace Consumer unless configured to do so or otherwise authorized by Marketplace Consumer. If any Personal Information is included within Marketplace Provider’s Product, Marketplace Provider represents and warrants that it complies with all applicable laws, including that Marketplace Provider collects, discloses, transfers, and maintains the Personal Information in accordance with such laws (e.g., obtaining any required consents).
During and after the term of this Agreement, each Party (as “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 this Agreement, 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 this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections not materially less protective of the Confidential Information than those herein. If Receiving Party is required by law or court order to disclose Confidential Information, then Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide 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.
6.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY MARKETPLACE PROVIDER. Marketplace Provider will defend Marketplace Consumer against any claim by a third party (i) alleging that the Marketplace Provider Materials, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringe any intellectual property right of such third party; Marketplace Provider will indemnify Marketplace Consumer for any damages, costs, and, if applicable, attorneys’ fees awarded against Marketplace Consumer or agreed in settlement by Marketplace Provider resulting from such a claim.
6.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY MARKETPLACE CONSUMER. Marketplace Consumer will defend Marketplace Provider against any claim by a third party arising from or relating to Marketplace Consumer’s breach of this Agreement, and Marketplace Consumer will indemnify Marketplace Provider for any damages, costs, and, if applicable, attorneys’ fees awarded against Marketplace Consumer or agreed in settlement by Marketplace Provider resulting from such claim.
6.3 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES. In the event of a potential indemnity obligation under this Section 6, 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 6 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6. 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 6. 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 6 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.
Neither Party makes any warranties, either express or implied, including, but not limited to, any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, or noninfringement regarding the Product. Each Party hereby disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and noninfringement and expressly acknowledges that Snowflake: (i) has no responsibility for the acts or omissions of any Marketplace Consumers, Marketplace Providers, or for any Products; and (ii) has no support, warranty, or other obligation (including for continued availability) for any Products. Marketplace Provider does not warrant: (i) that the Product will meet Marketplace Consumer’s requirements; or (ii) that the Product will be accurate, complete, or up-to-date.

8.2 GENERAL CAP. Subject to Section 8.3 (Exceptions), neither Party’s aggregate liability under these terms, whether such damages are based in contract, tort, or other legal theory, shall exceed two times (2x) the aggregate of all fees paid and payable by Marketplace Consumer to Marketplace Provider for the Product in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the damages.
8.3 EXCEPTIONS. The exclusions of or limitations on liability set forth in Sections 8.1 (Disclaimer) and 8.2 (General Cap) will not apply to damages or liability arising from a Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
