federal or state court located in Santa Clara County, California
and You consent to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
b. Waiver and Severability. The failure of either party to require
performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement
shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any
time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach
of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver
of 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.
c. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement and any of its terms and
provisions may only be amended, modified, supplemented or waived in
