1. Provided that

The usage of this phrase is very similar to “if” or “but”. If it is put in the beginning of a sentence, it constitutes a conditional clause meaning “if”. Where there is the main clause before this phrase, it is equivalent to “with the exception of” meaning “but”.

1) Provided that the acceptance of rent by the Landlord after the expiration of the term of the tenancy hereby created shall not be deemed to operate as a waiver or breach of any of the terms hereof nor as a new periodic tenancy by way of holding over or otherwise.

2. Where

There are two usages of this word. One is to lead conditional clause meaning “if”, the other is to lead adverbial clause meaning “in the case where”.

1) Where an employee is granted any period of annual leave, the employer shall pay him annual leave pay in respect of that period not later than the day on which he is next paid his wages after that period.

雇员获准休年假的，雇主应于该年假后第一个发薪日支付该雇员该段年假的薪酬。

2) Where a contract is ratified by virtue of this section, the person who purported to act for or on behalf of the company in making the contract shall not thereafter under any greater liability than he would have been if he had entered into the contract on behalf of the company as an agent acting without its authority and after its incorporation.

凡任何合同凭借本章节而获得追认，则在订立合同时其意是代表该公司行事的人，在该合同获得追认后所须承担的法律责任，不得大于若该人是在该公司成立后未获该公司授权而以代理人身份代表公司订立合同的情况下所须承担承担的责任。
