条 tiáo "item, article" + 款 kuǎn "clause, section": items and clauses, i.e. the individual provisions of a legal or contractual document. The 条 is in 条文 (an article) and 条例 (regulations). The 款 is in 款项 (a sum/clause). Distinguish 条款 (clauses/provisions) from 条件 (tiáojiàn, conditions). 合同条款 = contract terms.
