However, where the Australian Consumer Law permits liability to be limited in respect of any services provided pursuant to these terms that are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, then we limit our liability in the manner and to the fullest extent permitted, at our option, to the supply of the services again or paying the cost of having them supplied again. Neither Rampart nor you will be liable to the other for any indirect, special or consequential losses or damages of any nature (including loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data or opportunity) howsoever arising in connection with use of this Website except to the extent that any such loss or damage is caused or contributed to by the other party.
