Clause 2 is to be construed as creating an unconditional on‑demand obligation: 'or conditions' means payment is required without conditions or proof of default or damages. The plaintiff's demand letter, stating the bonded sum and linking it to the subcontractor's default, met the bond's requirements. Alleged affidavit defects did not constitute 'other reasons' under Order 14 r3 to refuse summary judgment. Summary judgment for the plaintiff is therefore appropriate for the bonded sum claimed.
