Common use of SCOPE AND SEVERABILITY Clause in Contracts

SCOPE AND SEVERABILITY. The parties acknowledge that the Business of the Company is and will be national and international in scope and thus the covenants in this Section 4 would be particularly ineffective if the covenants were to be limited to a particular geographic area of the United States. If any court of competent jurisdiction at any time deems the Restricted Term unreasonably lengthy, or the Restricted Territory unreasonably extensive, or any of the covenants set forth in Section 4 not fully enforceable, the other provisions of Section 4, and this Agreement in general, will nevertheless stand and to the fullest extent consistent with law continue in full force and effect, and it is the intention and desire of the parties that the court treat any provisions of this Agreement which are not fully enforceable as having been modified to the extent deemed necessary by the court to render them reasonable and enforceable and that the court enforce them to such extent (for example, that the Restricted Term be deemed to be the longest period permissible by law, but not in excess of the length provided for in Section 4.2, and the Restricted Territory be deemed to comprise the largest territory permissible by law under the circumstances, but not in excess of the territory provided for in Section 4.2).
