Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Confidentiality Agreements

English term or phrase: set down

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties consider it useful to set down the confidential treatment to be given to their discussions, bearing in mind the fact that should the undertakings given hereafter not be respected, this would constitute sufficient grounds for terminating such discussions and revoking any engagements made or taken.

I am translating a cofidentiality agreement into Croatian and I am stuck with set down. Could someone help me by paraphrasing it? Thanks.
