👉 In legal terms, "contingentiam" refers to a promise that is subject to some form of future event or condition. It typically involves a contract where one party (the obligor) promises to make a certain amount of money or goods in exchange for another party's performance. For example: - A loan agreement between two parties: The borrower agrees to pay back the loan amount if the lender meets certain conditions, such as the borrower fulfilling a certain number of milestones or performing certain tasks.
