This provision establishes that customers using Snowflake AI features are subject to additional operative terms beyond the base Terms of Service. The existence of Model and Service Pass-Through Terms indicates that third-party model providers may have pass-through contractual obligations that affect customers' rights and obligations when using AI-powered features.
Interpretive note: The operative content of the AI Terms and Model and Service Pass-Through Terms is not disclosed on this index page; substantive assessment requires review of those documents.
The updated Privacy Notice no longer includes explicit language stating that users 'may unsubscribe through unsubscribe links at any time.' This removal means the document no longer contains that specific commitment to unsubscribe availability. The updated terms still reference a Privacy Notice governing data processing and retain cookie-related disclosures, but the removal of the unsubscribe guarantee eliminates a documented mechanism users may have relied on. You can review the full Privacy Notice to understand current communication and preference management options.
