Note there's no such thing as UK jurisdiction, as there are three separate legal systems in the UK (English, Scottish, and Irish). But yes, all three would likely nullify the contract provision.

IANAL but in Roman Law countries - and just for the record - not necessarily applying to this case, there is the concept of contracts (or clauses in contracts) that can be deemed nullum ab initio and Quod nullum ab initio nullum producit effectum if they are against or contrasting any Law, i.e. ipso jure.
Chances are good it says that any disputes are to be governed by the laws of, say, the State of California. Since California doesn't adopt EU law as its own public policy, it would be likely to enforce the contract (unless it violated California law in some way).
