Liability makes sense but E&O for a website is a little odd. E&O makes sense when there is a clear dollar amount at risk. When it's ambiguous there will be disagreement and lawsuits. For example, I used to work on sweepstakes and contest websites. They had prizes worth a specific amount of money and an error could cause a clearly defined loss.
Sounds like a boilerplate big company contract. I'd avoid E&O if possible, especially since it's expensive.
