German term or phrase: Eindecken
Soweit Firma A eine Lagerversicherung wuenschen sollte, wird Firma A Firma B schriftlich beauftragen, in eigenem Namen, jedoch auf Rechnung Firma A, eine solche einzudecken und fuer die Dauer des Vertrages aufrechtzuerhalten.

Does this mean simply "to take out" or to cover? I would understand "cover" to mean "finance."

Thanks.
