Legal Question in Business Law in Arizona

I would like to see the contract. Generally, an invalid clause would only invalidate the contract as to a claim arising out of that provision, particularly because most professionally drawn contracts have a "survival" or "severance" clause which express states that the unenforceability of one provision does not render the rest of the contract unenforceable.

So, based on what I know it appears that you could open the door to negotiate a new contract if the clause in question would be the most likely basis for a later dispute. Then once the door was opened because (if) you both need that provision fixed, you would accept the fix in the key provision only as part of a more "global settlement." Might work.

Good luck!
