French term or phrase: condamnation prononcée
DO the pros know if I have to use sentence imposed in this case and I was wondering who SON in son encontre is referring to. Please read the text below. Thanks in advance
Dans le cas où la responsabilité de XY serait recherchée à raison d'un manquement par un Inscrit aux obligations qui lui incombent aux termes de la loi ou de ces conditions d'utilisation, ce dernier s'engage à garantir XY contre toute condamnation prononcée à son encontre

Explanation:
In this context, the Inscrit will indemnify XY and hold it harmless against .... "toute condamnation prononcée à son encontre"

While "verdict" would be correct for most occurrences of "condamnation", I feel that the "garantir" calls for something more tangible.

Explanation:
Usually, a "sentence" is something issued in criminal proceedings against and individual, and your context here seems to be more concerned with liability and torts. I would thus suggest "verdict" instead. I read "a son encontre" as meaning "against it," where it refers to Inscrit, assuming the Inscrit is a company or entity.
