I'm sorry, but I disagree with this current trend of making language "safe" for everyone. Yes, I know about triggers and some good reasons for changing words (there's no real reason to be using master/slave in a new piece of software). Eventually you end up with bland, uninteresting language. Pact, while a little confronting if you follow the connotations far enough, is an excellent and succinct name. I would have also accepted "contract".
