Maybe this will help express the difference that Phil explained.

Comment: "It really seems this is the better answer compared to an already very good one, which came from Phil. I have looked into it quite a bit, and both your link and Google confirm your translation. I rarely deviate from previous feedback (see above under Phil's answer) but here I have to as this answer is even better than his is."

limitations of liability
I assume you posted this question because you're not sure of the difference between Begrenzung and Beschränkung in English. I assume that one refers to quantitative limits (eg maximum sum insured of $X million) and the other to what types of loss are and are not covered. Either way, you can translate them both as one word.

liability limits and restrictions
If you want to use two words to correspond to the two German words, then I think this does the job. The phrase is quite widely used in connection with liability and insurance, e.g. :
It's important to understand the carrier's liability limits and restrictions to help mitigate financial loss.
