French to English translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Commercial lease
French term or phrase: accord économique
Explanation: This is in a commercial lease for a building - queried term in the asterisks.

ARTICLE 31 - CLAUSES DIVERSES

31.7. Stipulations finales
Sauf stipulation contraire, la nullité ou l’impossibilité d’exécuter tout terme ou stipulation du Lease n’affectera pas la validité ni la force exécutoire du Lease ou de tout autre terme ou stipulation de celui- ci. A la place de tout terme ou stipulation nul(le) ou non exécutoire, les Parties substitueront une stipulation valable et exécutoire aussi proche que possible de cette stipulation nulle ou non exécutoire. Les Parties sont convenues de s’accorder sur un *accord économique* équivalent leur permettant de ne pas être lésées de l’éventuelle nullité ou inexécution.

Would the more appropriate translation be "financial agreement", as I think in English "economic" tends to refer to national level agreements, etc. whilst I don't think "economical" works here.

English translation:reach an agreement about another clause with the same economic effect
Explanation:
the whole of "un accord économique équivalent" should be the question.

Meaning that if a clause turns out to be illegal, it should be replaced by another clause "qui a le même effet du point de vue économique/commercial"

Les Parties sont convenues de s’accorder sur un accord économique équivalent leur permettant de ne pas être lésées de l’éventuelle nullité ou inexécution.
=
Parties have agreed [that in such case - i.e. nullity of a clause] they will reach an agreement about another clause with the same economic effect, that will allow parties not to suffer damages from the possible nullity or non-execution [implied: "non-execution" of the illegal clause]

agree  AllegroTrans: a frequent stumbling block in legal and financial French; given Daryo's summary "disagree", I would like to see his "better" suggestion
