Severability Contract Clauses (75,278)

Severability. If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement is finally declared to be invalid by any tribunal of competent jurisdiction, that part will be deemed automatically adjusted, if possible, to conform to the requirements for validity, but, if that adjustment is not possible, it will be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though it had never been included herein. In either case, the balance of the provision and of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the... foregoing, however, no provision will be deleted if it is clearly apparent under the circumstances that either or both of the parties would not have entered into this Agreement without the provision.
