Spanish term or phrase: mantener su propia defensa
Looking for a suitable legal term for this, and I can´t think of the word for 'mantener' here. Maybe 'put forward'?


Sin embargo, si la reclamación o acción está basada en la negligencia, engaño, fraude, falsedad o incumplimiento de este contrato por parte de LA DISTRIBUIDORA, ésta tendrá el derecho a ***mantener su propia defensa** en cuanto a, y limitada a, dicha negligencia, engaño, fraude, falsedad o incumplimiento de este contrato por parte de LA DISTRIBUIDORA.

defend
Explanation:
You could simply use defend.
Or 'respond'

although you would have to play with the sentence, against any claim a defendant has a period of time to 'respond' in law.
