material loss or loss of money
Explanation:
That definition given in Alcalay Hebrew<>English seems to best fit your sentence. (Otherwise I'd've suggested poverty or pennilessness.)
Based on that, I'd say: The contractor hereby releases the customer from any responsibility or duty whatsoever in connection with any accident, destruction or damage, or material loss.
