conditionally
This adverb is primarily used in legal, professional, and technical registers to describe an agreement or a state that is not absolute. It signals a precarious or temporary status, where the final outcome is contingent upon the fulfillment of specific requirements. In a legal or employment context, it often implies a probationary period or a prerequisite that must be satisfied to make a contract binding.
In technical or computational contexts, it describes logic where an action is triggered only if a certain criterion is met. This differs from "unconditionally," which describes an absolute or guaranteed state regardless of external factors. Because it functions as an adverb, it typically modifies verbs of granting, enabling, or agreeing.
