Should individual provisions of the contract with the client including these general terms of use be or become invalid in whole or in part, the validity of the remaining provisions is not affected. The completely or partly ineffective regulation is replaced by the contracting parties amicably by a legally effective regulation which comes closest to the economic sense and purpose of the ineffective regulation. The above provision shall apply mutatis mutandis in the event of a loophole.
