Change Summary
Snowflake updated its Terms of Service on May 14, 2026 with predominantly formatting and navigation changes. The document reorganized website navigation elements, removed references to several developer programs and ROI content, and modified the legal notice email address from a generic support address to legalnotices@snowflake.com. The substantive contractual terms of the agreement remained materially unchanged; the modifications primarily affect how the document is structured and presented online.
