Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Film distribution agreement
Swedish term or phrase: utan då
I am having trouble linking the clauses in this agreement together. Any help with last section in "" much appreciated.

Skulle någon bestämmelse i avtalet eller del därav befinnas ogiltig, skall detta inte innebära att avtalet i dess helhet är ogiltigt " utan då skall, in den mån ogiltigheten väsentligen påverkar parts rättigheter eller skyldigheter enligt avtalet, skälig jämkning av avtalet ske.

Thanks in advance
