This exclusion narrows the scope of remedies available in disputes by eliminating recovery for categories of harm that often represent the largest financial exposure in liability contexts. The operative effect is to confine potential liability to direct, actual damages and exclude speculative or derivative harm.
Under this provision, users cannot recover damages for consequential harms, lost profits, or indirect business losses through claims against PayPal, even if PayPal's actions caused such harm. Recovery is limited to direct damages only, as defined by the liability framework.
