English translation: covering the location

Law/Patents - Insurance
Portuguese term or phrase: por local
In an commercial insurance policy, the phrase appears in the text below:

"13.2.2 - Seguro contratado com LMR por local
A indenização sera fixada de acordo com os seguintes elementos:
a) Prejuízos indenizáveis;
b) LMR declarado na apólice para o local;"

Here is my try (first part only):
"Insurance taken out with LMR for the (premises/location?)"

* LMR = Limite Máximo de Responsabilidade Único (Maximum Single Limit Liability)

English translation:covering the location
Explanation:
surely you mean 'para' ?
...MLR declared in the policy covering the location (I would leave it as vague as it is in the source text - location could mean the ground as well as the buildings on that ground.

Presumably the MLR amount will be stated somewhere in the policy. (even if added after you have translated it). Why deviate so far from the source text?
Look at it from the Insurer's point of view. They don't want to pay out unless they have to, and want to cover all eventualities - hence the use of broad terminology!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Para would make more sense, but the source document (just checked it) uses Por (probably poorly written). Thanks for your suggestion.

by location


Explanation:
I think "by location" sounds just fine. Though you could also say "according to location"
