U.S. SnowGov Region Terms of Service

**Last Updated: **May 4, 2026 | Previous Versions

These Snowflake U.S. SnowGov Region Terms of Service (“Terms”) take effect as of the date the Order Form or other agreement that references these Terms (“Ordering Document”) becomes binding (“Effective Date”). These Terms supplement and amend the agreement by and between Customer and Snowflake governing Customer’s use of the Service (including the Ordering Document and any other agreements referenced in either document, the “Base Agreement”). These Terms only apply to direct transactions with Snowflake. If you purchased or intend to purchase the Service through a Snowflake authorized reseller, please contact your reseller for instructions on how to access the U.S. SnowGov Region. All capitalized terms used but not defined in these Terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Base Agreement, or if not defined in these Terms or the Base Agreement, then as defined in the U.S. Government Terms of Service (currently available at www.snowflake.com/en/legal-gov/), as applicable. These Terms may be updated by Snowflake from time to time upon reasonable notice (which may be provided through the Service or by posting an updated version of these Terms), provided, however, that no such update shall materially diminish Snowflake’s obligations under Section 5 below. By entering into the Ordering Document, you represent to Snowflake that you have the legal authority to bind the Customer to these Terms.
