I don't come here very often, usually because I leave with a horrible headache.
Ivan, I don't know you personally or very well politically, so you'll probably take what I say with a grain of salt.

Since it includes a term that Fark by definition equates to our surrender to them then yes.
To be clear, the NSO can not effectively re-enter this war. Whether or not that is a term realistically becomes moot at some point. The NSO has admitted defeat, whether that is or is not a term is moot. The NSO has not surrendered. It will not surrender. It will not accept or perform a term that the opposing side considers a de facto surrender. I am willing to admit our defeat, peace out and agree not to re-enter. That is it.

I hate to break it to you, but by your own admission, are defeated.
I thought that Sith were suppose to be cunning? At this point, you want to secure the future prosperity of your alliance. Swallow you pride, take the terms, and re-build to fight another day.

Yes they do.

At some point, you as their leader, have got to go against their wishes and do what's best for them in the long run. They might not like it now, but the benefits later could be astonishing. You have already admitted defeat, NSO has lost 70% of its strength, get out now while NSO is still capable of re-building relatively quickly.

At this point, since it is clear that the NSO couldn't re-enter even if it wanted to, then yes.

Then the issue seems to lie in a choice of words in the peace terms. Surrender or admit defeat?
