Law/Patents - Insurance / Contract for loan of art collection to museum
French term or phrase: clause de non recours
This section of the contract deals with the obligations of the museum while the artwork is on loan to them, and this particular sub-section deals with insurance. The context reads:

"- clause de non recours contre les organisateurs et la fondation ainsi que toute personne apportant son concours à la réalisation de l’Exposition, prêteur, transporteurs, ou emballeurs, étant précisé que cette clause de non-recours ne s’applique pas en cas de malveillance, dol ou faute lourde."

Does it mean that action cannot be taken against either party? Or something on those lines?

waiver of recourse clause
Explanation:
The waiver of recourse clause provides that Party A will not sue Party B (e.g. 'seek remedy'). It is different from the hold harmless clause, which says that Party B will be covered and indemnified by Party A if it (Party B) should be held responsible for the consequences of any of Party A’s actions.

Please refer to point 1.2 of this reference : http://www.philippelaw.eu/UploadDirectory/UserFiles/files/P&...

As usual, I'll leave it to native speakers to say this in better (legal) English.

Thank you, LaraBarnett. May I just add something to what I wrote earlier, for the sake of clarity: … if it (Party B) should be held responsible for the consequences of any of Party A’s actions or for the consequences of its (Party B’s) actions following Party A’s instructions.

Exclusion clause


Explanation:
I think that this is a generic phrase for insurance contracts.

According to the Business Dictionary, an exclusion clause is a 'Provision in a contract under which one party's liability (that would arise by implication of law) is excused in the listed conditions, circumstances, or situations (called exclusions).'

Which means that the contract binds the parties together and that they cannot turn their back on each other. In this case the exclusion clause does not apply in case of theft or ill will.

Maybe it works?

right of redress


Explanation:
party A insures his responsibility. In the contract with party B it is stipulated that the counter party in the contractual relation (B), even if it commits an error, is not going to have to reimburse the insurer or party A.

Asker: Thank you, I knew there was going to be a good term for this, but can you explain how I would structure this with the proceeding "contre"? Would this not mean against a party? (OR would this need another question?): ("clause de non recours CONTRE les organisateurs et la fondation..."
