Severability

A clause in a contract stating that if one clause in the contract is ruled illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of the contract remains in effect. Severability exists to protect the counterparties to the contract from the possibility that the whole contract will be ruled invalid. This is especially important if one or both parties must spend money in the execution of the contract. A contract without a severability clause could be declared entirely invalid if a single section is declared invalid. It is also called a savings clause.
