ProvisoThe name of a clause inserted in an act of the legislature, a deed, a written agreement, or other instrument, which generally contains a condition that a certain thing shall or shall not be done, in order that an agreement contained in another clause shall take effect.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------

Clause

Agreement
A verbal or written resolution of disputes.
Instrument

Condition

This is a technical expression which signifies to be entitled to; as, a devisee will take under the will. To take also signifies to seize, as to take and carry away.
