agree  Angela Greenfield: "of his own volition" would sound more legalese. What do you think?//I don't see anything wrong with "its" for that matter.//You can voluntarily take an obligation, but what they mean in this case is that the obligation may be initiated by either party.

  -> Thanks, Angela. You know legalese better than I do! Accord and volition sound interchangeable to me. Apart from the "its" question (which the context will solve), what truly bothers me is the combo of "of ... own accord/volition" and "shall be obligated".
