If any provision of this chapter, the application of any provision of this chapter or the imposition of this tax on any particular transaction, person or item of tangible personal property is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, such occurrence shall not affect other provisions of this chapter or their application to other transactions, persons or items of tangible personal property. It is the express intention of the city council that each unconstitutional or invalid provision, or application of such provision, is severable, unless otherwise provided by this chapter. It is also the express intention of the city council that if any exemption contained in this chapter is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, then this chapter shall be applied as if such exemption had not been enacted.
