Spanish term or phrase: no siendo por tal motivo correcta
La reiteracion de las mismas e innecesaria, y excluye al A & B no siendo por tal motivo correcta.

Is my English correct?
The reiteration of the same is unnecessary, and excludes the possibility of A & B being inccorect for that reason.

It's a legal agreement

Thanks!

for which reason it is not correct
Explanation:
This is a bit formal; though formality in a legal document is not out of place, I suppose. I would prefer "and for that reason it is not correct", but this produces two "ands", which is perhaps a bit awkward, though if it doesn't bother you, no problem.

Of course you could say "incorrect" instead of "not correct"; I'm just being literal because I can't see a good reason not to.

"Correcta" presumably agrees with "reiteración", though it could be a previous feminine noun.

If you were to use "for which reason...", there would need to be a comma before it: "and it excludes A & B, for which reason...". Or Phil's suggestion: "and it excludes A & B, so it is incorrect".

agree  philgoddard: "So it is incorrect" or "and is therefore incorrect" might be simpler.

  -> Thanks, Phil. Yes, they might. "So it is incorrect" would serve the purpose. "And is therefore incorrect" (which I like) is also fine, except for the "two ands" problem (if it is a problem).
