The "severability" section of a contract is a "safety valve" that prevents the whole contract from blowing up if one part of it is deemed illegal for some reason.

For instance, if you agree to provide free services to private citizens, but it becomes illegal to provide such free services, then that part of the contract is "severed" from the agreement to the extent it would not materially impede the rest of the agreement.
