Grammar question

It's unclear whether the second "stipulate" is to be done by "your client" or by "we" (as fringey suggested). Either way, it's "stipulate."
I read it as "we request." However, as it was unclear, I just offered up the rule instead of trying to guess his meaning. I'm not as smart or as pretty as you, so instead of stating with certainty that which I didn't know, I only gave the advice I was on comfortable ground with.

Wouldn't it be fun if ALL posters were as circumspect?
