In such a case, the Parties agree to replace the void or illegal clause, after negotiation in good faith, with a valid clause reflecting their initial intention.
Tolerance – No waiver
The fact that one of the Parties did not require the application of a clause, can in no case be considered as an abandonment of its right to observe subsequently, at any time and without notice, each of the clauses and of the conditions herein or as a waiver of the rights arising from said clause.
