stipulation
Demand in agreement
A stipulation is a condition or requirement that must be met, typically as part of an agreement or contract: The loan came with the stipulation that he maintain full-time employment.
In legal contexts, stipulations are also formal agreements between opposing parties about uncontested facts, saving time at trial.
To stipulate is to specify such conditions: The contract stipulates a 30-day notice period.
