severability clause
- A part of a contract that allows the remaining provisions to stay valid if a portion of it is declared unenforceable by a court
- The severability clause in the business agreement ensured the rest of the terms remained in force when one part was invalidated.
- Thanks to the severability clause, illegal terms in the contract did not affect the rest of the agreement.
- The lack of a severability clause led to the entire contract becoming invalid after one stipulation was deemed unenforceable.
