This indemnification clause allocates legal risk and defense costs to the Customer for claims arising from the Customer's data or service usage, establishing that Snowflake is not responsible for defending itself against such third-party assertions or bearing the financial consequences of resulting judgments.
Under this provision, the Customer assumes the obligation to cover Snowflake's legal defense costs and any damages awarded if a third party sues Snowflake over the Customer's data or non-compliant use of the Services, meaning the Customer bears financial liability for such claims rather than Snowflake.
