What is a Severability Clause and Why is it Critical?


What happens if one of the terms of the contract is invalid for some reason, it’s either a violation of law or impossible to understand, or it’s just declared invalid. Do you want the entire contract to be thrown out or rendered invalid? Of course not. A severability clause ensures that when there’s a problem with one clause, the rest of the contract is still valid. A severability clause might read something like, if any provision of this agreement is held by a court of law to be illegal, overly broad, or otherwise enforceable, it shall not render this contract invalid or unenforceable.
