bindingly
In compulsory fashion
In a manner that creates a legal or moral obligation.
Contracts are *bindingly* agreed upon, commitments *bindingly* made.
The word appears almost exclusively in legal and formal contexts: The agreement was bindingly executed by both parties.
It emphasizes that something cannot be easily undone or escaped.
