– 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.
– Invalidation and Interpretation. If any court or federal or state law should invalidate any part of this Agreement, such decision or law shall not invalidate the entire Agreement. If any part of this Agreement becomes invalid, the parties will meet and confer in an effort to cure the invalid provision. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require either party of this Agreement to act in violation of any State or Federal law.
