“Severable
Contract” Definition: A contract is severable,
as a general rule, when, in its nature and purpose, it is inherently
susceptible of division and apportoinment, or when the performance is
divided into different groups, each sets embracing performances which are
agreed exchange for each other. One test when a contract is severable is
whether or not the obligation is due at the same time to the same persons.
If so due, then it could be whole or entire; if due to different persons,
then it could be divisible or severable.
