French term or phrase: "engageant définitivement"

binding [upon the Parties]
Explanation:
There is no need to add "absolutely" (as is sometimes done) for "définitivement" as "binding" will do on its own.

e.g.
"What is an inventory?
The inventory is a catalogue of the property and its’ contents. A schedule of condition is a record of condition. Most commonly the two are combined into one report and are called either the inventory or schedule of condition.

The inventory/schedule of condition ... is a catalogue of the property being let
it records the condition of the property and any items that are included in the tenancy
it forms part of the legally binding contract that is set out in the tenancy agreement between the tenant and the landlord."
