  "text": "1. The Court of Justice of the European Union shall have jurisdiction over litigation among the Members in relation to the ESS ERIC, between the Members and the ESS ERIC (including any liquidator of the ESS ERIC) and over any litigation to which the European Union is a party.\n2. European Union legislation on jurisdiction shall apply to disputes between the ESS ERIC and third parties. In cases not covered by European Union legislation, the law of the State where the ESS ERIC has its statutory seat (i.e. the laws of England and Wales at the date of the establishment of the ESS ERIC) shall determine the competent jurisdiction for the resolution of such disputes.\n3. The Members shall procure that, if any of the applicable laws changes substantially these Statutes are changed accordingly.\n4. If any term of these Statutes is found by any court or body or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unlawful, void or unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction, such term shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement in respect only of such jurisdiction and this shall not affect:\n(a) the legality, lawfulness or enforceability of such term under the laws of any other jurisdiction; or\n(b) the remainder of the Statutes which shall continue in full force and effect.\nIn this event the parties shall seek to agree in accordance with Article 28(2) a valid and enforceable term to replace the severed term to the satisfaction of the General Assembly.",
