/sɛvərəˈbɪləti klɔz/ – Phrase
Definition: Điều khoản chia rẽ
A more thorough explanation: a provision in an agreement or legislation that if one term is determined to be invalid (=unenforceable) the rest of the agreement or legislation is not affected by this fact and remains valid (=enforceable)
Example: Without a severability clause, a court decision that one contract provision is unenforceable would invalidate the entire contract.
