Spanish term or phrase: de mutua y expresa conformidad
"3. Una retribución bruta anual fija de XXXX MIL EUROS, distribuidas en doce mensualidades de igual importe, de mutua y expresa conformidad, que le serán ingresadas el último día de cada mes en la cuenta bancaria que se indique"

I read this as "by mutual and express agreement" - but not sure... wondering if it has some specific other meaning??

Thanks, as ever.

Explanation:
My idea is that the previously suggested wording is right, but that the economical order of the words will help your target text flow and lends the optimum feel to your translation of having been originally written in your target language.
Hope this helps. Best of luck

mutually agree to


Explanation:
A veces no hace falta hacerse tanto lío con las frases así como aparecen en el orginal, con poner una frase estándar de todos los contratos, quizás te resuelve el tema màs fácil. Dado que no conozco las frases anteriores, ni còmo comienza la clàusula en que aparece esta frase, si està ligada con otras anteriores o posteriores, etc. una humilde sugerencia es

The parties mutually agree to (pay) an annual....

Espero que te ayude.

Express consent:

consent 1) n. a voluntary agreement to another's proposition. 2) v. to voluntarily agree to an act or proposal of another, which may range from contracts to sexual relations.

CONSENT. An agreement to something proposed, and differs from assent. (q.v.) Wolff, Ins. Nat. part 1, SSSS 27-30; Pard. Dr. Com. part 2, tit. 1, n. 1, 38 to 178. Consent supposes, 1. a physical power to act; 2. a moral power of acting; 3. a serious, determined, and free use of these powers. Fonb. Eq. B; 1, c. 2, s. 1; Grot. de Jure Belli et Pacis, lib. 2, c. 11, s. 6.
2. Consent is either express or implied. Express, when it is given viva voce, or in writing; implied, when it is manifested by signs, actions, or facts, or by inaction or silence, which raise a presumption that the consent has been given.
3. - 1. When a legacy is given with a condition annexed to the bequest, requiring the consent of executors to the marriage of the legatee, and under such consent being given, a mutual attachment has been suffered to grow up, it would be rather late to state terms and conditions on which a marriage between the parties should take place;. 2 Ves. & Beames, 234; Ambl. 264; 2 Freem. 201; unless such consent was obtained by deceit or fraud. 1 Eden, 6; 1 Phillim. 200; 12 Ves. 19.
