Hello all,

I would like to know if all the expressions in the title mean the same and can be use interchangeably with the same meaning.

In accordance with the contract I don´t have to pay a deposit
According to the contract I don´t havd to pay a deposit
Conforming to the contract I don´t have to pay a deposit

Many thanks,

Irland5

Sentences 1 and 2 would be correct if they ended with a period (full stop).

Sentence 3 is grammatically correct but not natural.

You need a comma after "contract" each time.
