Explanation:
I am not sure if you were asking just for the explanation, as it is pretty basic. Perhaps you need the more legal term for the description of the activity. There is a word for it - "Collusion", or "acting in collusion". In Australia it is more common in business law to just use this term, rather than to go into lengthy description... It is sufficient to have one term to keep the legal document short. However, for the purpose of a contract clause, especially with foreign entities, a full description like yours would be put in.
See examples below for more.
