Severability Clause

A severability clause is a provision within a contract that ensures if one part of the agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest of the contract remains intact and still enforceable. This means that even if a specific term or condition does not hold up in court, it does not affect the validity of the other terms. The intent is to protect the overall agreement, allowing it to function as intended even if one part needs to be removed or altered.
