French term or phrase: reconduire vs. renouveler
Context:

"Le présent mandat à durée déterminée de un an et non reconductible débutera

Le ……………………………………………… pour se terminer le ………………………………………………

Il sera renouvelé ensuite à l’initiative du Mandant à la fin de la période."

How can the agreement be "renouvelé" if it is "non reconductible"?

agree  Tony M: But it's nothing specifically to do with renewal "under the same conditions" — just that it won't be renewed automatically unless specifically cancelled, but rather, will be automatically cancelled if not specifically renewed.

roll-over vs. renew


Explanation:
Depends also how mandat is being translated: agency or sales agreement etc. - incapable of automatic roll-over on the same terms, but renewable on re-negotiable terms as suggested by C-R.





Example sentence(s):
  • extension, renewal or automatic "rollover." The Notes shall be issued ... Agency Agreement, they should be annexed to this Agreement or delivered to ...
