stipulate

Set as condition

To stipulate is to specify something as a requirement or condition, especially in a formal agreement: The contract stipulates a 30-day notice period.

Lawyers stipulate when they formally agree to accept certain facts, removing the need to prove them at trial.

A stipulation is such a requirement or agreement.
