    Except in several states if any of the contract is invalid it all is.

      In the United States where TikTok is based, contracts can include “severability clauses” that state that in the event any part of the contract is deemed unenforceable, the other parts are still good

      That’s not a common thing in American contracts. Severability clauses take care of that.

      Is that true? I can’t find any source for it, except very specific cases where the language and contents of the contract matter.

        IANAL; However Usually the contracts have a severability clause, meaning even if some parts of that contract are null and void the rest of it stands minus the parts that are illegal. Does that mean those clauses are also null and void depending on locality? Again IANAL, but I believe it’s pretty settled contract law at least in the US.
