A contingency is a provision that a certain act or event will happen for a contract to be binding.
For instance, a home seller may agree to an offer with the contingency that they must find a new home before they sell. If they are unable to find another home within a specified time frame, they may cancel the deal without penalty — so long as this contingency is spelled out in the contract.
