oponible is difficult at first sight. It usually, as here, refers to defences (excepciones) and means they can be raised/argued/put forward etc. in legal process to argue against something.

As I said in my earlier not on this paragraph:
This is common in insurance policies. It simply means that the beneficiaries will have a cause of action against the insurance company which cannot raise against the beneficiaries the defences which it may have against the policyholder as a result of matters attributable to the latter.

notwithstanding

a suggestion, meaning 'apart from' i.e. not including these exceptions

being neither binding on, nor enforceable against, them

Has been asked at least 6 times before, inc. by the same asker who is right except for the prep. after enforceable. Bill H's answer has popped before I could turn the answer round to: such defences/pleas as the latter may enter .... and which are based on ..... being incapable of being set up against them.
