Selected answer:the jury was "satisfied" = convinced / believed in the proofs that it's true
Explanation:
If any part of the TOS is proved to the satisfaction of a jury as being invalid or as having a non-binding nature, the rest of the Terms of Service will still remain binding.
=
if in a court case the jury finds convincing / believes the proofs/arguments that some part of the Terms of Service are not valid [and by implication, consequently the jury decides that way ] etc

the same meaning of "being satisfied" applies also to any official who can take decisions on their own discretion, based on their own judgement / appreciation of facts - like a Customs officer being "satisfied" (or not) that all that tobacco and brandy is "only for personal consumption" or a Traffic police being "satisfied" (or not) that the reason for speeding / driving through a red light was a genuine emergency, or a Planning officer being "satisfied" that the submitted application is in order and the planning permission should be granted etc etc

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): I agree with 'convinced' but, with regard to the second part of your answer, note that a court case does not aim to 'prove' that something is 'true' but rather to come to a conclusion based on the evidence presented.

  -> Better not start a discussion about what really is a "solid/error proof" evidence ... Thanks!
agree  AllegroTrans: convinced on the basis of evidence ("believed" is far too woolly a term in legalspeak) ("Well I voted guilty like, because of the evidence like, but I don't believe the gaffer really dun it..)
