9 mins confidence:
pre-condition Explanation: "Randbedingung" is a semi-legal term, which in a legal context means a pre-condition. That is what I think is meant here too. It's not a marginal or ancilliary condition. Your context says "wesentlich", i.e. essential. |

18 mins confidence:
boundary condition Explanation: This is just to confirm Alan's answer. Boundary in the sense of something written on the margin, but part of the whole. Ancillary (ancillary costs - Nebenkosten) applies to something that occurs additionally. Alan's answer is therefore what you are looking for, or so I believe. |
