severability


severability, defined:

the ability to remove specific provisions of an agreement while saving the contract itself. Used to remove illegal terms from of a contract, courts often decide issues of severability based on what is referred to as the blue-pencil test. If it's possible to delete the offending terms without actually revising the language of the agreement, the contract may be judged severable.

severability, as it might be used:

With illegal contracts, there are two reasons that justify the severability of illegal terms rather than voiding the entire contract.
