The Paid Service Terms combine base terms for all Paid Services with Additional Terms for specific services
The page tells you to read the YouTube Paid Service Terms of Service in full, together with any Additional Terms that apply to the particular Paid Service you use.

Google may change the ST Terms on reasonable notice; if you disagree, stop using them, with no cancellation or refund
Google may change the ST Terms for reasons such as reflecting changes to the ST Services or its business, legal, regulatory, safety or security reasons, or preventing abuse or harm. If it materially changes them it will give reasonable advance notice, except when launching a new feature or in urgent situations such as preventing ongoing abuse or responding to legal requirements. The new ST Terms become effective after the notice period, and continued use of the ST Services after that shows acceptance. The new terms apply to all ST Services, including content you subscribed to in the past. If you do not agree you should discontinue using the ST Services and/or your NFL Sunday Ticket subscription, and the clause repeats that NFL Sunday Ticket cannot be cancelled and payments are non-refundable.

Disputes about the ST Terms or ST Services go to binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act
If a dispute arises that relates to the ST Terms or your use of or access to the ST Services, whatever its type but subject to the exceptions in Section 11.2, you and Google agree to resolve it through binding arbitration. The terms say arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and that arbitrators can award the same damages and remedies as a court. These Arbitration Terms are subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and are meant to be broadly interpreted. Section 11.10 adds that California law also applies, but only where it is not inconsistent with the FAA.
