Severability
copyright 1997 Donald M. Cameron , Aird & Berlis
If a clause to an agreement is over-reaching, it may result in a court holding the entire agreement to be unenforceable.
A Severability clause attempts to sever any "bad" clauses from the rest of the Agreement and allow the rest of the Agreement to stand even if the severed clause is declared unenforceable.
If any clause or part of a clause of this Agreement is held by a Court to be unenforceable or invalid, then the remaining clauses or portions of clauses of this Agreement shall survive unaffected.
