German term (edited): aus (problem with the satzstellung)
Selected

under (on the basis/grounds of)

If any claim is made against XYZ under (or on the basis of/on the grounds of) manufacturer's liability due to a defect in the goods delivered by the contractor, the contractor shall indemnify XYZ against any manufacturer's liability resulting from the defect.

My stylistic preferences:
"shall" rather than "is to" in contracts (this was confirmed by remarks made by a qualified solicitor at the "Legal translation" seminar in London on Monday)
"defects" or "faults" rather than "errors" (I associate "errors" more with computer programming, not so much with physical products).
"product" or "goods" rather than "materials" (unless the manufacturer is providing raw materials rather than finished products - you know that better from the whole of the document).
