16 Final provision
If individual clauses of these terms of participation are or become invalid, in whole or in part, this will not affect the validity of the remaining clauses or the remaining parts of such clauses. If a provision is invalid, the parties must negotiate in good faith to replace it with a provision that comes closest to the economic purpose of the invalid provision. The same also applies to an omission within these terms of participation.
