assumptions: (n: supposition) supposizione f, ipotesi f inv;
on the ~ that, partendo dal presupposto che;
to work on the ~ that, partire dal presupposto che;
(Rel) the Assumption, l'Assunzione f.

It is widely used in commercial contracts and quotes to indicate to exclude or include specific actions or facts. For example, I am making an assumption that this translation is about a commercial contract and I am expressing my understanding.
