You and Google agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California.
    
    Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Google to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
