Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) | | French term or phrase: maintien à première demande | Here is the sentence giving the context from which the above expression is drawn:
Le Sous-traitant reconnait avoir souscrit toute les polices d’assurance nécessaire pour garantir le Générateur contre tous dommages qu’il pourrait subir et dans le cas contraire, s’engage à souscrire la ou les polices en question à compter de l’entrée en vigueur du présent Contrat et d’en justifier l’existence et le maintien à première demande de TENESOL.
it is a service contract (contrat d'intervention).
I don't grasp what is meant by this expression and have no idea how to translate it correctly. I would appreciate your suggestions! |

| | [see my suggestion for the whole sentence] | Explanation:
I think from the fact that your question is "maintien à première demande" that you may have misunderstood the parsing of the sentence.
It means:
The contractor shall, on request by Tenesol, immediately provide evidence that it has obtained the policy/policies and that they are still in force.
