consequential loss
Consequential damage is loss or damage, which is not a direct result of a breach of contract, or negligence but occurs as an indirect but foreseeable consequence (e.g. lost future sales). A seller will normally exclude responsibility for such damages in the supply contract or terms and conditions of sale.

consequential loss
Consequential loss is any loss which is not a direct result of the breach complained of. For example the loss of telephone orders because a new telephone system does not work rather than the cost of the telephone system itself. You may be able to claim for such losses if they were a likely result of the breach. Most standard terms of sale will try to exclude liability for consequential loss. This can be a very important point to negotiate particularly if significant consequential losses could flow from a breach.
