liability


Explanation:
to pay for a loss coming under the terms of an insurance contract

see Schäfer

In common insurance usage, this term also specifies the amount for which the insurer is obliged by law.

So *obligation* would not be correct here.

Explanation:
Edith has a point, but I'm not too happy with "liability" (which would look rather strange if it was about "liability insurance").

For "örtliche und zeitliche Geltung", you could use "geographical and temporal scope" - which I don't like very much either (but it is backed up by quite a few kosher hits on the Web).
