Ces conditions te convient ?
The verb must agree with the plural subject 'conditions', so use 'conviennent'.
Ces conditions vous conviennent ?
If you keep the informal 'te', you must also keep the informal pronoun; mixing 'vous' with 'te' is inconsistent.
Ces condition te conviennent ?
The noun 'condition' must be plural to match the verb form; use 'conditions'.

Cultural Tip
In French, the informal 'te' is used with friends, family, or peers. In a professional or formal setting, replace it with the polite 'vous' – 'Ces conditions vous conviennent ?'. Also, note that the verb 'convenir' is followed by an indirect object introduced by 'à' in statements (e.g., 'Ces conditions conviennent à Marie'), but in questions the indirect object pronoun replaces the prepositional phrase.
