Violations of These Terms In addition to any other rights ChoiceRanks holds under these terms, a breach on your part may lead ChoiceRanks to take any measures it sees fit.

Severability If a court or any other recognized authority rules that a specific provision of these terms is unlawful or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply as normal. If removing a particular portion of an invalid provision would make the rest of it valid and enforceable, that portion alone will be considered removed while the remainder stays intact.
