A severability clause ensures that if any provision of a contract is found to be unenforceable or invalid, the remaining provisions will still remain in full effect. This clause helps preserve the overall integrity of the agreement by allowing the enforceable sections to stand independently of any invalidated sections.
Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Fourth Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Severability clause. Should any provision of this Funding Contract be invalid, it shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Funding Contract. The contracting parties undertakes to replace an ineffective provision with one that comes closest to the purpose of this Funding Contract.
Severability Clause. Should any provision of this Employment Agreement be, or become, invalid or void, this shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. In the event of the invalidity or nullity of a provision of this Employment Agreement, it shall be replaced by a valid provision which shall embody the economic purpose of the invalid provision as closely as possible. The same procedure shall apply in the event of an unintended omission within the Employee Agreement.
Severability Clause: If any portion of this Amendment (or the Agreement, as amended hereunder), is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by a court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, then such portion will be deemed to be stricken and the remainder of the document(s) shall continue in full force and effect.
Severability Clause. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Severability Clause. Should individual provisions of this Agreement be or become void or ineffective in whole or in part, the effectiveness of the remaining provisions shall not be affected. The law (Sect. 306 para. 2 BGB) shall apply in place of any general terms and conditions that are not included or are ineffective. In all other respects, the parties shall replace the void or ineffective provision with an effective provision that comes as close as possible to the economic purpose of the void or ineffective provision, provided that no supplementary interpretation of the Agreement has priority or is possible.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be automatically reformed and construed so as to be valid, operative and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by the law while most nearly preserving its original intent. The invalidity of any part of this Agreement shall not render invalid the remainder of this Agreement.
In case any provision in this Second Supplemental Indenture or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Severability. Each provision of this Amendment shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Amendment that are valid, enforceable and legal.
If any part or provision of this Agreement or the application of any such part or provision to any Party or circumstance shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by any competent arbitral tribunal, court, governmental or administrative authority, (a) such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other part or provision of this Agreement or the application of such part or provision to any other persons or circumstances, and (b) the Parties shall endeavor to negotiate a substitute provision that best reflects the economic intentions of the Parties without being invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and shall execute all agreements and documents required in this connection. For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 3.5 is not intended to modify or abrogate the authority of the competent arbitral tribunal or court to replace an invalid provision of this Agreement in accordance with Swiss law.
Severability. The clauses and paragraphs contained in this Agreement are intended to be read and construed independently of each other. If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid, this invalidity will not affect the operation of any other part of this Agreement.
Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Third Supplemental Indenture shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Third Supplemental Indenture, but this Third Supplemental Indenture shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
Severability. Any provision contained in this Note which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Severability. In the event that any provision of this Amendment becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Amendment shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Amendment to any party.
Severability. Should any provision of this Amendment be declared or be determined by any court to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the validity of the remaining parts, terms, or provisions shall not be affected thereby and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable part, term, or provision shall be deemed not to be a part of this Amendment.
Severability. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Note shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision of this Note and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Note to any person or circumstance shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision to any other persons or circumstances.
SEVERABILITY. The parties hereto intend and believe that each provision in this Note comports with all applicable local, state and federal laws and judicial decisions. However, if any provisions, provision, or portion of any provision in this Note is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of any applicable local, state or federal ordinance, statute, law, or administrative or judicial decision, or public policy, and if such court would declare such portion, provision or provisions of this Note to be illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable as written then it is the intent of all parties hereto that such portion, provision or provisions shall be given force and effect to the fullest possible extent that they are legal, valid and enforceable, and that the remainder of this Note shall be construed as if such illegal, invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable portion, provision or provisions were severable and not contained therein, and that the rights obligations and interest of the Borrower and the Lender hereof under the remainder of this Note shall continue in full force and effect.
Severability
Any term of this agreement which is wholly or partially void or unenforceable is severed to the extent that it is void or unenforceable. The validity or enforceability of the remainder of this agreement is not affected.
A Severability Clause is a provision commonly found in contracts that ensures if one part of the contract is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remainder of the contract will still be in effect. Essentially, it allows the contract to survive even if one or more of its provisions cannot be applied.
When should I use a Severability Clause?
You should consider using a severability clause in practically every contract you draft. This clause is particularly important in:
Complex Agreements: Contracts with multiple provisions and clauses where the risk of one part being invalid is higher.
Jurisdictionally Diverse Agreements: Contracts that span multiple legal jurisdictions where laws might vary significantly.
Commercial Transactions: Business contracts involving significant assets or important ongoing relationships.
Long-Term Agreements: Contracts that are meant to last for an extended period, where legal standards may change over time.
How do I write a Severability Clause?
A standard severability clause might look something like this:
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
To make the clause more comprehensive, you could write:
Should any provision of this Agreement be determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be valid and enforceable. The invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and agreements set forth in this Agreement.
Which contracts typically contain a Severability Clause?

Commercial Contracts: Including sales agreements, service contracts, and partnership agreements.

A short form lease is a simplified version of a standard lease agreement that outlines the essential terms and conditions between the landlord and tenant, often omitting detailed provisions for the sake of brevity. This type of lease typically includes fundamental details such as the identification of the parties involved, property description, lease duration, rent amount, and basic obligations, while more complex terms may be addressed in supplemental documentation.
The Sick Leave clause outlines the conditions under which an employee can take time off due to illness, including the amount of leave allowed, any documentation required for extended absences, and whether the leave is paid or unpaid. It ensures that employees have the necessary time to recover from illness without fear of job loss or penalty.
A "sign-on bonus" clause refers to a financial incentive provided by an employer to a new employee as part of their employment agreement, typically paid upon the employee's commencement of work. This bonus is often used to attract top talent or compensate for potential losses incurred by the employee when leaving their previous job.
