German term or phrase: unerlaubter Handlung

I am struggling with "unerlaubter Handlung" and "als dessen Lieferungsbedingungen eine Haftung vorsehen". Any comments on my interpretation please?

Der Mieter wird aus unerlaubter Handlung keine weitergehenden Schadenersatzansprüche gegenüber dem Vorsorgunsträger geltend machen, als dessen Lieferungsbedingungen eine Haftung vorsehen, es sei denn, die entsprechende Haftungsbegrenzung ist rechtlich unzulässig.

The tenant shall not enforce any more extensive claims for compensation against the utility company arising from unlawful acts if its terms of delivery provide for a legal liability unless the corresponding liability limit is unlawful.

English translation:tort

Explanation:
This is the usual term, but I'm not sure if it is exactly what is meant here.

Rest of text:shall not assert a more extensive claim ... than to the extent of the liability provided for in its terms of delivery
(suggestion only)
