terms of agreement

Deal's binding provisions

Terms of agreement are the specific conditions, rules, and provisions that govern a contract or arrangement between parties.

The phrase often refers to the legal text users must accept before using software or services: I scrolled past the terms of agreement without reading them.

In negotiation, terms of agreement are the points both sides have accepted: We've settled on the basic terms of agreement.
