excluded but may be limited, Sections 4.1 and 4.2 do not apply to that liability and instead Elasticsearchs liability
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.
