Italian term

completare

Italian to English Law/Patents Law: Contract(s) employment contract
This is from an employment contract and I am having trouble with the word "completeranno" at the start of the sentence. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I translated the second "completeranno" as "close".
Many thanks


Le parti completeranno le clausole non valide o nulle nella forma indicata per questo tipo di attività o completeranno le lacune del presente contratto in maniera tale da garantire il raggiungimento dell’obiettivo.

replace/remedy

This is a standard "invalid provisions" clause, and I usually say something like "replace any invalid or unenforceable provisions... remedy any omissions". I don't think "close" works for the second one.
Peer comment(s):

agree Graziella Marchiori : You can translate it as "complete"!

agree Stuart and Aida Nelson : Yes, replace and for the second one "fill any gaps" https://agreements.realdealdocs.com/supply-contract-clauses/...

Italian term (edited): completare le clausole non valide / le lacune

supplement the invalid clauses / close the gaps or lacunae

close does work for the second instance and preferably not translatable as loopholes.

In English law, the 'blue pencil test' would mean that a court would strike down the nugatory provision of a severable contract and let th rest of the contract stand. That's not so with an 'inseverable' so non-splittable contract.
Example sentence:

IATE: it occorre completare con il testo seguente il testo dell'articolo ..., paragrafo ... Council en the following shall be added to Article ..., paragraph ... Council to supplement (paragraph)

substitution of the invalid or impracticable provision or in order to fill in the omission

Sounds like a modified "severability clause". Basically it says that if any clause is inapplicable, the parties will undertake to execute the contract" in a manner fit to ensure the achievement of its goals. Severability legal definition of severability
Search domain legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/severabilityhttps://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/severability
severability the rule of construction of contracts that allows a court to ignore a part of a contract that would render it in some way defective and to read instead what is left. It has been applied to restrictive covenants where, if the words are capable of being so read, the court will ignore a severe restriction and allow a lesser restriction.
