German term or phrase: Eigenrisikoanteil
I don't know if this just means excess?

"Der Auftragnehmer haftet für Schäden, die an der Anlage durch sein Verschulden oder durch das Verschulden der von ihm aufgrund des Vertrages eingeschalteten Personen entstanden sind, wobei diese Haftung, auf eine Höhe von 1,1 Mio Euro mit Eigenrisikoanteil von höchstens 1.000,00 Euro begrenzt wird."

excess
Explanation:
You're right, this is the same as "Selbstbeteiligung" or "Selbstbehalt", i.e. the residual risk/amount to be borne by the insured.

deductible (noun)


Explanation:
if it's an insurance policy

I have full coverage on the car with a deductible of $250, meaning in case of damage to the car, I must pay the first $250 for each incident out of pocket, with the balance picked up by the insurer.
