Standard Agreement for Marketplace Products
Snowflake offers standardized terms to help streamline procurement within the Marketplace.
Snowflake gives providers the option of using the Standard Agreement to help promote more efficient transactions with their consumers. The Standard Agreement streamlines procurement by cutting through lengthy contract development, review, and negotiations with a set of clear, standardized terms that govern product usage and establish the rights and obligations of each of the parties to the agreement.
Disclaimer: Providers and consumers are solely responsible for determining whether the Standard Agreement meets their specific requirements. Note that if your listing contains personal information, the Standard Agreement does not include data protection terms. The Standard Agreement and associated documentation should not be construed as legal advice. The Standard Agreement does not address any requirements specific to a particular industry. Snowflake makes no guarantees as to the sufficiency of the Standard Agreement for any particular transaction or industry.
