German term
United Kingdom
haftet auf schadensersatz
German to English
Law/Patents
Maintenance contract.
'Der Auftragnehmer haftet lediglich auf Schadensersatz.'
I am a bit confused by this - should this be 'The contractor only accepts liability for damage''?
Any suggestions much appreciated.

damage liability
Your interpretation is correct; you can either phrase it as you did or emphasise it by translating lediglich with a negative construction: "The contractor excludes all liability except for damages".
