Whereas

Explanation:
"Declarativa" is apparently a variant of "Declaraciones", which is the first part of a contract, known in English as the Recitals. It will normally be headed "Whereas", and the clauses in it are sometimes called the "whereas" clauses. This seems to me the best word to use in this context. The Spanish equivalent is "Considerando", and the equivalent clauses are sometimes called "considerandos" in Spanish. So the "Que" at the beginning of each clause will not be translated.

"Recitals
The recitals are very similar to the preamble and are situated at the beginning of the contract. The recitals often start with the word ‘Whereas’ and are also known as the ‘whereas clauses.’ This part of the contract should not contain rights or obligations of the parties, but is merely there to explain or introduce the nature of or background to the contractual relationship."
