Both alliances agree to not engage in any acts of aggression against the other signatory alliance.

Both alliances recognize the importance of their home teams. They both agree to work towards keeping Aqua a secure, free sphere. The signatories also commit to remaining neutral towards the other's senate candidate and promise never to get all pissy about the composition of the senate.
