as long as / provided (that) / providing (that) /

on condition (that) / only if
 We can use the expressions as long as, provided/providing (that), on
condition (that), or only if instead of if when we want to emphasise the
condition that needs to be present so that something can happen or be done.

I’ll tell you what really happened as long as you keep the secret.
I’ll lend you the money provided (that) you pay me back next month.
They will speak to the press on condition (that) they remain anonymous
sources.

6.

whether or not
We use whether or not when there are two alternatives and we want
to say that something will happen or will be true in any of those two
alternatives. Compare:

I’ll help him if he needs me. (=I will help him only if he needs me.)
I’ll help him whether or not he needs me. (I will help him if he
needs me, and I will help him if he doesn’t need me, too.)

We also use even if with a similar meaning to ‘whether or not’. It is
used to emphasize that something will still be true or will happen if
another thing happens.

Even if you apologise, he’ll never forgive you. (=Whether or not

you apologise, he’ll never forgive you.)

or simply ‘if’ (imagining a situation).
