2 hrs confidence: 
... will be enforced if needed. Explanation: It is really hard to be certain with only a sentence fragment. This is where two sentences may become one in English: for example, "you reserve the right to [terms of punishment] this will be enforced if the conditions [agreed to] are not met. Could you provide the entire sentence or the surrounding sentences so that it may be put fully in context? |

peer agreement (net): -1As often as appropriate/whenever necessary, we shall remind you that... Explanation: Hello, I think this does it. This wasn't easy! Il est rappelé = We shall remind you (I think future tense works best here in English) I hope this helps. en tant que de besoin = as often as necessary/whenever necessary |

| Reference: first step - understand the French Reference information: Great site for language questions: http://www.academie-francaise.fr/langue/questions.html « En tant que de » ou « autant que de » (besoin, raison) ? La tournure en tant que de (besoin, raison) est un archaïsme, mais elle est tout à fait correcte. En tant que signifie « selon que », « autant que ». Par ailleurs, on disait autrefois qu’une chose était de besoin pour signifier qu’on en avait besoin : elliptiquement, la forme en tant que (cela est) de besoin signifie « dans la mesure où l’on en a besoin ». Par analogie, on dit aussi en tant que de raison, qui signifie « dans la mesure où cela est raisonnable ». Autant que de (besoin, raison) est une forme déformée de en tant que de (besoin, raison), qui est incorrecte. |
