French term or phrase: conditions (clauses) suspensives
Here is one yet another term I'm struggling with while translating a Compromis de vente. I understand that they represent conditions for which, if not met, no penalty will be charged (ususally to the purchaser of the property) and that, furthermore, all of the conditions enumerated must be met before signing the final deed of the sale. In my US vernacular, I would call them "out" clauses and I believe that in UK English, they're called "let-out" clauses. But I'm not sure how to translate conditions suspensives in an official document. "Conditions"? "Provisional Conditions"? But that's redundant, yes? If there is a standard translation, I haven't been able to find it. Also please note that the previous section heading is "Charges et Conditions de Vente", so I'm kind of hesitant to use "Conditions" for both. You've all been so helpful with the other terms I've submitted here. For that I'm very appreciative. Thank you very much again.
