Removal of a Payment Instrument renders it unusable with the Service, meaning users lose access to that instrument for Google Pay transactions on the affected device.
Interpretive note: The excerpt is incomplete; the full list of conditions triggering removal is truncated. Only the first explicitly quoted condition — user deletion — is reflected in the canonical claim. Other independent triggering conditions (e.g., clauses 63368 and 63366) may form part of the same list.
Users are informed that their Payment Instrument can be removed from Google Pay and become unusable on a given device, including as a result of the user's own deletion action.
