GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:tout mois entamé étant compté dans sa totalité
English translation:with any portion thereof counting as an entire month

Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Lease agreement
French term or phrase: tout mois entamé étant compté dans sa totalité
La période minimum est fixée à un mois, tout mois entamé étant compté dans sa totalité.

I am having trouble finding a suitable translation for 'entamé' in this context, usually I would have said ' part thereof' but can't seem to make it fit here. Could I simply say: The minimum term is set at one month, any part thereof being counted as a full month?
Thanking you in advance for your suggestions!

with any portion thereof counting as an entire month

I hope this helps.

Explanation:
Often used in lease and similar contracts: it is noty just a "part of a month", it is e.g. after the 1st of any month, this month is counted fully.
