ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The aggregate cap limits the total financial exposure of either party across all claims to a single year of fees paid to Snowflake, which may be substantially lower than actual damages suffered.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Regardless of the number or severity of claims, the total amount you can recover from Snowflake and its affiliates is capped at the fees actually paid or payable to Snowflake in the prior 12 months.
