The company is granted a release from liability under this contract.

この条件では免責が成立しません。ko no jō ken de wa men seki ga sei ritsu shi ma se n

An exemption from liability does not take effect under these conditions.

Describes being released from responsibility for a specified matter, especially under a contract or rule.

契約や規約などで、特定の事柄について責任を負わないこと。kei yaku ya ki yaku na do de toku tei no koto gara ni tsu i te seki nin o o wa na i ko to

免責 (menseki) combines 免 (men, "be exempt") and 責 (seki, "responsibility"), forming a Sino-Japanese compound for freedom from responsibility.

In English legal writing, 免責 (menseki) may be translated as exemption from liability when it names the legal effect, while disclaimer usually names the statement that limits responsibility.
