NOW THEREFORE
Explanation:
No you may not use "Whereas", a term used to introduce the recitals ("premesso che ...")

"Cio premesso" introduces the body of the contract and in English is known as the "transition". It is normally rendered by NOW THEREFORE. Other alternatives are WITNESSETH or KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS. I'd stick to NOW THERFORE if I were you.
