When reading the fine print on a contract, you will often encounter strict requirements. To express that an action will happen "provided that" or "on the condition that" a requirement is met, use the conjunction à condition que.
Because it sets a condition that hasn't yet been fulfilled, à condition que is always followed by the subjunctive.
| You should register, provided that the monthly subscription is not expensive. | Vous devriez vous inscrire, à condition que l'abonnement mensuel ne soit pas cher. |
| You can terminate the contract provided that the manager accepts. | Tu peux résilier le contrat à condition que le responsable accepte. |
| I pay the penalty provided that you cancel the subscription. | Je paie la pénalité à condition que vous annuliez l'abonnement. |
Like other expressions ending in que, it contracts to qu' before a vowel or a mute h.
| I accept the clause provided that it is clear. | J'accepte la clause à condition qu'elle soit claire. |
| We cancel the contract provided that you respect the notice period. | Nous annulons le contrat à condition que vous respectiez le préavis. |
