A proviso may be a ginger, lily-livered construction, but at least it does something: it takes a stated general principle and weasels out of it.
- “The promisor herewith agrees to pay, unconditionally and in full, all amounts due, provided that on no account shall the promisor be liable for: … [here follows a catalogue of exceptions great and small the sum total of which will equal, or perhaps even exceed, the value of the commitment so generously given].”
