Italian term or phrase: clausole nulle
Hi again, still fumblin' in the dark.
...also called "clausola di validità disgiunta"
It's a classic contract clause, followed in this case by "L’eventuale nullità di una o più disposizioni del presente contratto non incide sulla validità del contratto nel suo complesso."
I've translated this one before, but I can't remember what it's called.
TIA

severability
Explanation:
While I agree w. Gilda, I finally dug out a disclaimer on the net... Here is the relevant section:

"Severability. If any term, clause or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain valid and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The invalidity or unenforceability of any term, clause or provision in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction."

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Well thank you all muchly. All your suggestions were attractive, but I found myself irresistably drawn to Floriana's succulent "severability" - it's a corker! Thanks also to kmaciel for your excellent legalese, if I hadn't already delivered the job I would have pasted you in shamelessly.

v. sotto


Explanation:
scusa se provo a suggerirti un termine anche se non sono di madrelingua inglese, ma mi ricordo di aver trovato anch'io queste clausole traducendo in italiano, e se non ricordo male avevano a che fare con "Invalidation"...

v. anche il testo che ho trovato qui sotto


find them invalid. Should the contract be flawed, it may provide no protection at all. In some states one invalid clause will invalidate the entire contract. One can guard against this problem by seeking legal counsel on the validity of the contract before reliance is placed on it.

Severability


Explanation:
In the context you have provided, "Severability" is correct as suggested by P. MacQuarrie. However, as a translation of the entire phrase, I would suggest:
"In the case where one or more clauses and/or provisions hereof are or become null and void, such nullity shall not be deemed to affect the contractual force and validity of the present agreement on the whole."
Hope that was helpful.
