for such failure is limited (at Elasticsearchs election) to, in the case of a supply of goods, the Elasticsearch
replacing the goods or supplying equivalent goods or repairing the goods, or in the case of a supply of services,
Elasticsearch supplying the services again or paying the cost of having the services supplied again.
