provisos
Agreement's limiting conditions
Provisos are conditions or stipulations attached to an agreement, law, or statement—qualifications that limit or modify what has been said.
A contract might grant certain rights with the proviso that the other party meets specific obligations.
The word often signals a catch or exception: She agreed to help, with one proviso.
Singular: proviso.
