provided that
On condition that
Provided that introduces a condition that must be met for something else to be true or happen: You can borrow the car, provided that you fill the tank.
It functions like "if" or "on the condition that," but with slightly more formal or emphatic force.
Often shortened to simply "provided": I'll come, provided I can leave early.
