Law (general) / contrat de gardiennage
French term or phrase: s'entendra du régime des obligations de moyens
contrat de gardiennage

S'agissant des cas de vol, la responsabilité de xxx s'entendra du régime des obligations de moyens; elle ne sera alors retenue que toutes les fois aue le Client pourra démontrer que xxx n'a pas utilisé tous les moyens à sa disposition pour faire échec au sinistre.

Je n'arrive pas à traduire "s'entendra du régime".

xxx responsibility shall ....best endeavours scheme?
Je sais que "s'entend" a souvent le sens de "signifie, veut dire" Est-ce le cas ici?



Merci

Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci A/T, mais comme je l'ai précisé dans ma question, mon problème c'est comment traduire "s'entendra du régime" et non sur "obligations de moyens". shall extend to = s'étendra ou s'entendra?

Reference: best endeavours / best efforts

Reference information:
Lengthy legal analysis of UK and US case law and drafting considerations in regard to obligations under this heading.

If you're not translating a particular jurisdiction, know that the number of Ghits for "best efforts obligation" is two orders of magnitude greater than the number for "best endeavours obligation".
