Law/Patents - Insurance
French term or phrase: renoncer à tout recours vis-à-vis
This is a 'Convention de stage d'un tiers a X' (= university). Under Assurances:

L’institution d’origine s’engage à couvrir par les contrats « responsabilité civile » et « accidents corporels » qu’elle a contractés, les risques encourus par le stagiaire pendant l’exécution et sur le trajet du stage. Il sera fait mention dans ces contrats que les assureurs **renoncent à tout recours, tant vis-à-vis** de X que de son personnel.

IATE gives 'to waive the right to institute proceedings', which sounds a bit over the top for this kind of agreement. Would 'waive all claims whatsoever against either X or its staff' be the right phrasing in insurance lingo? Or does there need to be a mention of liability in there? There are some similar phrases in the glossary but since insurance is not my strong point, I'd like to be sure of the wording in this particular case.

Apologies for the typo - "Recours" should, of course read "recourse"!
