PARTIAL INVALIDITY/GOVERNING LAW Clause Samples

The Partial Invalidity/Governing Law clause serves two main purposes: it ensures that if any part of the contract is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the agreement remains effective, and it specifies which jurisdiction’s laws will govern the interpretation and enforcement of the contract. In practice, this means that if a court strikes down a specific provision, the rest of the contract is not affected, and any disputes or legal questions will be resolved according to the laws of the chosen state or country. This clause is essential for maintaining the stability of the agreement and providing certainty about which legal rules apply, thereby reducing the risk of the entire contract being voided due to a single problematic term and clarifying the legal framework for resolving disputes.
