valid commitment in the event of business trading


Explanation:
The information states that the commitment is legally processed as it becomes contractual.

Two possible translations from French to English of
'valant engagement en cas de marché' are
'binding in the event of a deal' or 'binding in case of a contract'.
If something is binding then it holds on to something else forming a commitment or engagement. If a commitment or engagement is valid then it is based on sound reasoning with a legal viability or independence. A deal or a contract may involve business trading.

disagree  Tony M: The S/T term is 'valant', which does not mean 'valid' here. 'valoir' used in this sort of way has the general sense of 'counts as' And ''business trading' is meaningless as you are trying to use it here.

disagree  AllegroTrans: you have totally mistranslated 'marché' which has a specific meaning here
