that modify the legally reasonable/suable responsibility in their absence


Explanation:
I understand the sentence the way that there are contracts or agreements that can be complied with or not but the absence of which modifies the responsibility that you can legally require. Modifiquen and ellos refer to contratos o acuerdos. This means that if these contracts or agreements do not exist, the responsibility changes.
I hope this makes sense.
