That sounds like something unenforceable if there ever was an unenforceable clause.

  Perhaps, but would you really like your Google account closed an inaccessible for a year or more while the courts work it out. Can you even afford lawyers over that time period? Not sure you'd be able to find one who would take this on contingency. And that's the shitty bit about our legal system: it's slow enough that the entity you're suing can keep hurting you for a long time until things get resolved, and it's incredibly expensive to get them resolved, especially if you're going against a company with deep pockets. I do wonder, though, if, when you go to small claims court (where the advantage is tilted a bit toward the plaintiff), and in addition to asking for the value of the devices, you could also get the judge to issue an injunction against Google, prohibiting them from taking any retaliatory action, like closing your accounts. That might be out of scope for small claims court, though. I'm still not sure you'd win any of this, though.

    Pretty sure that's why injunctions exist, if there is grievous harm while things are litigated. Keeping your account alive vs. not sounds totally one-sided in terms of harm to each party.
