Answer: Quid pro quo / quid go pro ( something for something)

Explanation: Quid pro quo is an exchange of equally valued goods or services. It is a Latin phrase used in English to mean an exchange of goods or services, in which one transfer is contingent upon the other I.e "a favor for a favor". Quid pro quo indicate the type of agreement where two parties concur to make a mutual exchange. ”This is given because that is expected.”
