English translation:are in the nature of a request...
Explanation:
I don't think "reservation" is suitable for English. The important part of the sentence is to show that the company has no commitment to deliver. I would translate the whole sentence as:

Customer orders are in the nature of requests and put XX under no obligation to supply.
