行为能力的丧失

Explanation:
应该没什么区别，英文有时为了语言的严谨性，经常会将意思相近的词叠用，觉得统一译成一个就可以了。原意应是“无行为能力”，但顾及前面“法律限制”的名词词性，觉得全句转译为：“与担保人或卖方相关的任何法律限制或行为能力的丧失...”可能会好些。FYI

这里的行为能力指的是执行相应行为（措施）的能力，而不是肢体行为。例如发生意外事件，采取相应的应对、解决或补救措施等。

能力丧失 (incapacity)、障碍 / 殘障 (disability)、损伤 / 障礙 (impairment)、残疾 / 缺陷 (handicap)

Explanation:
The difference between incapacity and disability in legal terms has defines by the World Health Organisation is :
Incapacity : the physical, mental or other deficiences. It is a fact. (不能听，不能说，不能懂，不能行，等等)
Disability : the social and environmental consequences of the incapacity (ies). (不能工作，不能去买东西，等等)

There's a lot of chinese terms for incapacity and disability.
Now, PRC has officially adopted the WHO vocabulary (defined in 1980). So, they should use these terms in official publications.
In fact, all kind of vocabulary is still coexisting (残废 is still in use even if since 1978, maybe before, Chinese handicaped people asked to not use it.)

In Taiwan, they used other vocabulary (the second terms I wrote in the "Target term" field).

For incapaciy it should be as Beverly said (i.e. 能力丧失)

In Hong Kong they have also adopted some kind of international vpcabulary (i.e. conserve "人士" :

people with a disability 殘疾人士；弱能人士
permanent disability 永久傷殘
physical disability 肢體殘疾；肢體弱能；肢體傷殘
permanent incapacity 永久不能工作
