state court located in Santa Clara County, California and You consent

the provision itself. Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement is unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or is
so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or
invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid
as a whole, and such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as
to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid
provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court
decisions.
