A severability clause (also salvatio clause, from the Latin salvatio, "salvation") is a provision in a contract or law stating that if certain provisions of the contract are invalid or no longer in force, all other provisions of the contract remain in force.
Sometimes the clause may be extended to provide that if the invalidated parts of the contract substantially alter the essence of the agreement, the entire contract is invalid.
It may also include the obligation of the parties to immediately amend the contract to replace the invalidated clauses to the extent consistent with the essence of the contract.
There are two kinds of such clauses:
Simple severability clause is an abstract statement that the transaction remains in force if any part of the transaction is invalid.
Qualified severability clause - replacement of an invalid clause with a clause intended to take the place of the invalid clause.
We offer you a qualified salvation for your consideration.
