literally/to the letter as written
Explanation:
Legalese likes pairs (e.g. nul and void, terms and conditions) even in places where one synonym is sufficient to convey the meaning and intent. My take on the whole phrase: on condition that all the terms of this agreement are fulfilled literally as written
