Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the breach or violation, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof, shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with its Rules of Arbitration then in effect, except as modified herein. The result of such arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties. The seat of arbitration shall be New York City, New York, U.S.A. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall be conducted by: (i) one (1) arbitrator if the claim is for less than $1,000,000, or (ii) three (3) arbitrators if the claim is for an amount equal to or greater than $1,000,000; agreed to by the parties within twenty (20) days of receipt by the respondent of the request for arbitration or, if such arbitrator is not timely nominated hereunder, such arbitrator shall, upon the written request of either party, be appointed by the International Chamber of Commerce Court of Arbitration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section shall not prevent either party from: (a) seeking immediate injunctive relief or to enforce an arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction or (b) seeking provisional remedies or injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to address claims of misappropriation or infringement of its intellectual property, trade secrets or Confidential Information. If the dispute resolution or arbitration procedures set forth herein or such dispute resolution or arbitration procedures are deemed unenforceable, then any such dispute shall be subject to the jurisdiction and venue as set forth in Section 13.4 (Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Authorized Snowflake Affiliate) below.
2.1.2 The following shall be added to the Agreement as a new Section 15:
15. Insurance. During the Subscription Term, Snowflake shall procure and maintain at its own expense insurance policies with the coverage and limits set forth below:
1. Commercial general liability insurance of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000 USD) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with an annual aggregate of not less than two million dollars ($2,000,000 USD). These limits may be satisfied with a combination of a primary commercial general liability and umbrella.

Such insurance policies will be written with appropriately licensed and financially responsible insurers.

For clarity, where any policy amounts are higher than the agreed upon limitations of liability in Section 12 (Limitation of Remedies and Damages) (or if not applicable, the relevant limitations of liability provision), such amounts will not be construed as expansions on Snowflake’s liability under the Agreement, and where the policy amounts are lower than the agreed upon limitations of liability in Section 12 (Limitation of Remedies and Damages) (or if not applicable, the relevant limitations of liability provision), such amounts will not be construed as limitations on Snowflake’s liability under the Agreement.
