related to this Agreement must be brought exclusively in a 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 a
writing signed by both parties hereto.
