stipulations
Terms you impose
Stipulations are conditions or requirements specified as part of an agreement.
A contract might include stipulations about payment terms; a plea deal comes with stipulations the defendant must follow.
The verb stipulate means to specify such conditions: The lease stipulates that pets are not allowed.
In legal contexts, parties may stipulate to facts they agree on, removing them from dispute.
