No, I think that's not right. It says "judge this agreement under the
law of England". The law of England might well interpret the clause
you cite as referring to "illegal according to the local
jurisdiction". Choice of law is hard for most people to wrap their
heads around (reading it incorrectly as choice-of-forum,
choice-of-jurisdiction, or choice-of-reference-of-terms).
