Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / SUBCONTRACTING CONTRACT FOR THE CARRAIGE OF MERCHANDISE

French term or phrase: vacantes

This is a text from Luxembourg. I have put in capitals the word

L’entreprise ..................................devra souscrire auprès d’une compagnie d’assurances notoirement solvable une assurance couvrant ses différentes responsabilités aux fins de la bonne exécution du contrat.
L’entreprise ..................................s’engage également à assurer son personnel pour les tâches qui lui sont en particulier confiées par l’entreprise XXX, mais également de manière générale.
L’entreprise ..................................s’engage à ne pas laisser VACANTES les marchandises confiées et qui en cas de vol, incendie, ou dégradation serait assumées pleinement par sa propre responsabilité.
De plus, en cas de faute lourde, de négligence de l’entreprise ..................................tout dommage sera exclusivement assumé singulièrement par ses soins, l’entreprise XXX. n’étant nullement responsable de la garde de la marchandise lors des opérations de transports confiées à l’entreprise ..................................

Does the customer mean "unattended" "uninsured". I don't really understand the choice of the word " vacan"t in French.
