While I don’t think this quite gets to where you are suggesting every contract I have ever seen includes some clause that pretty much talks about the independence of the sections and how they stand even if some other clause is invalidated. That seems to be a form or modular/scope structure.
Perhaps the question there is where the difference might be. For instance, when using the software metaphor I don’t think it is really good to compare a simple application to the contract but more like a whole suite of applications. Don’t compare Excel to the contract but Office365. In this setting, does contract seem to stand a bit more firmly than say the security around the inner working of the applications within Office?

Or is than not really a good comparison?
