GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:sofern vereinbart
English translation:if agreed upon (provided it has been agreed upon)/where agreed

German term or phrase: sofern vereinbart
I'm not 100% sure about precisely how to put "sofern vereinbart" here:

"Ferner ist – sofern vereinbart – der Nachweis von ... (*forderungen) ... zu erbringen."

Simply "if agreed" seems to weak, but "if stipulated in the contract" seems too strong, adding information not given in the source.
