    The promise “If a person does not die, I will pay” is a conditional promise. A Promissory Note (PN) must contain an unconditional undertaking to pay a certain sum of money. Therefore, it is NOT a valid Promissory Note because the payment depends on the condition that the person does not die. ✅ Answer: Conditional — hence, not a valid Promissory Note.
