Snowflake's Terms of Service was substantially reorganized on May 22, 2026, with 204 sentences added describing product features, capabilities, and navigation elements that now appear at the beginning of the document. One sentence was modified. The core change is structural and informational: the document now includes expanded product messaging and capability descriptions before the legal terms, whereas previously it began directly with cookie usage and terms language. This reorganization does not alter the substantive rights, obligations, or restrictions that govern customer use of Snowflake services.
