invalid
Not legally binding
Invalid has two distinct pronunciations with different meanings.
With stress on the first syllable, an invalid is a person weakened by illness or disability: She spent years caring for her invalid mother.
With stress on the second syllable, invalid means not valid—legally void, logically unsound, or technically rejected: an invalid passport, an invalid argument, invalid data.
The verb invalidate means to render something void or ineffective.
