– Invalidation and Interpretation Clause Samples

The Invalidation and Interpretation clause defines how the contract should be interpreted if any part of it is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable. Typically, this clause ensures that the remainder of the agreement remains effective even if a specific provision is struck down by a court or regulatory authority. It may also provide guidance on how ambiguous terms should be construed, often favoring an interpretation that preserves the contract’s intent. The core function of this clause is to maintain the enforceability and integrity of the agreement, preventing the entire contract from being voided due to one problematic section.

If any part of this Agreement becomes invalid, the parties will meet and confer in an effort to cure the invalid provision.
