  -> 'Independence of provisions' and 'Severability of provisions' both widely used. The latter is A, not THE, correct solution. Technically, 'severability' is a consequence of 'independence' though in practice they're virtually the same thing.
agree  philgoddard: You could make this more concise by saying independent and conflicting provisions.

severability and conflict


Explanation:
This is the correct term.

eg

TOWN of WASHINGTON, MAINE MINING ORDINANCE
ARTICLE IX - SEVERABILITY & CONFLICT

Severability
Should any section of this Ordinance be declared by the courts of the State of Maine or by the courts of the United States to be invalid, such decisions shall not invalidate any other section or provision of this Ordinance.
Conflict with other Ordinances
This Ordinance shall in no way impair or remove the necessity of compliance with any other rule, regulation, bylaw, permit or provision of law. Where this Ordinance imposes a greater restriction upon the use of the land, buildings or structures, than any other rule, regulation, bylaw, permit or provision of law, the provisions of this Ordinance shall prevail.


Here’s an example of a severability clause:

“This Agreement will be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If for any reason any term or provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, then (a) such term or provision will be interpreted, construed, or reformed to the extent reasonably required to render the same valid, enforceable, and consistent with the original intent underlying such provision; (b) such term or provision will remain in effect to the extent that it is not invalid or unenforceable; and (c) such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement.”

agree  AllegroTrans: another way of expressing it, more common in UK/Ireland, but Pablo's answer is also perfectly acceptable
