Provider’s offering of the Product on the Marketplace subject to this Agreement, and Consumer’s acquisition or purchase of such Product, constitute each Party’s respective acceptance of this Agreement.

1.2 PARTIES. Consumer acknowledges that this Agreement is solely between Consumer and 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. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

2.1 MARKETPLACE PROVIDER LICENSE GRANT. Provider hereby grants to Consumer, its Affiliates, and each of their Users, a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable (as described herein), worldwide, and royalty-free license to access, use, deploy, operate, and receive the Product subject to and in accordance with this Agreement. Provider retains all rights not expressly granted to Consumer under this Agreement.

2.2 MARKETPLACE PROVIDER LICENSE GRANT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.5 (Use Restrictions) and Section 5 (Confidentiality), to the extent that Snowflake is Consumer, Provider additionally grants Snowflake a limited, non-exclusive, revocable (as described herein), worldwide, and royalty-free license to access, use, copy, display, and perform (whether publicly or otherwise) the Product to demonstrate use of Snowflake’s products and services, including the Marketplace, to Snowflake customers or prospective Snowflake customers in a private or public setting, including Snowflake marketing events, including by copying the Product into a Snowflake repository for such use cases.

 

2.3 FEES AND PAYMENTS. If applicable, the Product may be provided on a pricing model as set forth in the Listing Information (“Pricing Model”). Consumer is responsible for any Product Cost payable to Provider incurred as a result of its access or use of the Product, in accordance with the Pricing Model.

 

2.4 PRODUCT. Provider will make the Product available to Consumer in accordance with the Listing Information promptly following Consumer’s acquisition or purchase of the Product and continuing until either, as applicable: (i) the expiration or non-renewal of the Subscription Term, or (ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9 (Termination).

 

2.5 MARKETPLACE CONSUMER’S AFFILIATES AND USERS. With respect to Affiliates and Users that Consumer allows to use the Product: (i) Consumer remains responsible for all obligations hereunder arising in connection with such Affiliates’ and Users’ access and use of the Product; and (ii) 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 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 Consumer.

 

2.6 USE RESTRICTIONS. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither 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; or (viii) use the data outputs and/or data products created by, or resulting from, the use of the Product (collectively, the “Outputs”) for purposes of building a competitive product or service (which, for the avoidance of doubt, means that neither Consumer nor any of its Users may build, commercialize or license any such Outputs). Consumer will not remove, delete or alter any trademarks, copyright notices, or other proprietary notices of Provider or its licensors, if any.

3.1 PRODUCT. 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 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. Provider may freely use and incorporate into Provider’s products and services any suggestions, comments, or other feedback provided by Consumer or any of its Users relating to the Product.

 

3.3 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

4. PERSONAL INFORMATION.

 

4.1 PROVIDED BY SNOWFLAKE. Provider may receive Consumer’s contact information (as it exists in Consumer’s Snowflake user profile), general Account details, and details about the Transaction, including usage metrics which identify Consumer, from Snowflake, and Consumer agrees that Provider may use such information only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement and its privacy notice provided to Consumer during the Transaction, which may include marketing other products listed by Provider on the Marketplace.

 

4.2 IN MARKETPLACE PROVIDER MATERIALS. When offering the Product through the Marketplace, Provider shall not disclose or reveal Sensitive Personal Information to Consumer.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY.

 

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 are bound by confidentiality obligations to or 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, regulation, or court order to disclose Confidential Information, then Receiving Party shall, to the extent legally permitted, provide Disclosing Party with advance written notice and cooperate in any effort to obtain confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, including an opportunity for the Disclosing Party to seek appropriate administrative or judicial relief. 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. INDEMNIFICATION.

 

6.1 INDEMNIFICATION BY MARKETPLACE PROVIDER. Provider will defend Consumer against any claim by a third party (i) alleging that the Provider Materials, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringe any intellectual property right of such third party or (ii) arising from or relating to Provider’s breach of this Agreement; Provider will indemnify Consumer for any damages and costs finally awarded against Consumer or agreed in settlement by Provider (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from such a claim.

 

6.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY MARKETPLACE CONSUMER. Consumer will defend Provider against any claim by a third party arising from or relating to Consumer’s breach of this Agreement, and Consumer will indemnify Provider for any damages and costs finally awarded against Provider or agreed in settlement by Consumer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) 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.
