Skilyrðin

Skilyrðin are the definite plural of the Icelandic noun skilyrði, meaning condition, requirement, or term. It denotes the conditions that apply to a contract, policy, rule, or arrangement. In Icelandic legal and administrative language, skilyrðin describe obligations, rights, time limits, payment terms, renewal and termination provisions, and other prerequisites that govern a transaction or situation.

Etymology: The word stems from skilyrði, with the definite plural form skilyrðin. It is used in both formal and everyday contexts to refer to the stipulations attached to an agreement. The term is commonly found alongside related terms such as skilmálar (terms and conditions), ákvæði (provisions), and réttindi (rights).

Usage: In contracts and consumer agreements, the skilyrðin spell out what each party must do, what happens if conditions are not met, and how long the agreement lasts. Phrases include uppfylla skilyrðin (to meet the conditions), gilda skilyrðin (the conditions apply), and fulfilment of the conditions. In public administration, skilyrðin may govern eligibility, access, or compliance requirements.
