Conditioned on

[Allen165]

"Your access to and use of the Services are conditioned on your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms."

Shouldn't "conditioned" be "conditional"?

Thanks!

Do you mean that "conditioned on" is acceptable? I've never seen that construction.

 

[Allen165]

Me neither. One can be conditioned in a certain way or conditioned to do something, but "conditioned on"?

'Conditioned on' kidney donation, sisters' prison release prompts ethics debate

"The Mississippi Department of Corrections believes the sisters no longer pose a threat to society," Barbour said in the statement. "Their incarceration is no longer necessary for public safety or rehabilitation, and Jamie Scott's medical condition creates a substantial cost to the State of Mississippi. . . . Gladys Scott's release is conditioned on her donating one of her kidneys to her sister, a procedure which should be scheduled with urgency."
