to object
Explanation:
You're right, widersprechen basically comes down to the non-applicability of the customer's terms and conditions. This is typically worded as follows:

We hereby expressly object to any of the customer's terms and conditions.

See for example:
"Customer, by accepting any products, making any payment or ordering any products having previously received these terms and conditions, will be deemed to have assented to these terms and conditions, notwithstanding any terms contained in any prior or later communication from customer and whether or not Apricorn will specifically or ***expressly object to any of customer's terms***."

Btw: the German contains a grammatical error and should read: Eigenen AGB ...
