ungültiges

Ungültiges is a German adjective that translates to "invalid" or "void" in English. It is used to describe something that is not legally binding, does not meet specified requirements, or is otherwise considered unacceptable or null.

The term can be applied in various contexts. In legal settings, an "ungültiger Vertrag" (invalid contract) might be one that was entered into under duress or involves illegal subject matter, rendering it unenforceable. Similarly, an "ungültiger Stimmzettel" (invalid ballot) in an election is one that is improperly marked or otherwise fails to meet the criteria for a valid vote.

In a broader sense, "ungültiges" can refer to something that is technically flawed or incorrect. For example, a password might be "ungültig" if it does not meet the required complexity standards. A product might be deemed "ungültig" if it fails to pass quality control checks or does not comply with safety regulations. The concept of invalidity often implies a lack of force, effect, or validity according to a particular set of rules or standards.
