It also means that all sales are governed by the EU online selling rules. So if you did put that clause into your website you would have to display since that is part of English law
Clicking a buy button means that you have accepted an offer from a vendor, not necessarily that the sale is in the USA or whereever, even if the person doing the buying is in the USA. If they click and buy they are accepting your terms unless they specifically negotiate something different.
End of contract law lecture. End of jurisdiction lecture
(for now)
