\"demand\" en ealidad es más fuerte que \"pedir\". Se podría traducir como \"exigimos/reclamamos\". Pero lo dejamos a criterio del asker y del contexto.

Explanation:
Como dije en mi comentario, estas cosas, tratándose de alguien que firma algo aceptando o comprometiéndose a algo, deberían ser en idioma formal, a menos que se trate específicamente de una situación en que la parte que exige tenga el derecho adquirido de tratar al que va a aceptar el compromiso, con la familiaridad del "tú". Me explico?...
