1 hr confidence: financial losses v. consequential losses
Explanation: Since the opposition is between "dommages matériels" and "dommages immatériels", caused by the supplier or its servants or agents, "dommages immatériels" are direct financial losses.

2 hrs confidence: any financial or economic loss vs indirect or consequential loss/damage
Explanation: “Neither the contractor nor the purchaser shall be liable to the other by way of indemnity or by reason of any breach of the contract or of statutory duty, or by reason of tort (including but not limited to negligence) for any loss of profit, loss of use, loss of production, loss of contracts or for any financial or economic loss or for any indirect or consequential damage whatsoever that may be suffered by the other.” http://www.iaccm.com/news/contractingexcellence/?storyid=130... The underlined catch-all provision -- for any financial or economic loss -- is vital and should ensure that a good claims expert cannot spend profitable time trying to find alternative descriptions for non physical loss to avoid the exclusion of “loss of profit, loss of use, loss of production, loss of contracts.”

Sorry, the above is all one quote, but the link got into the middle of it instead of the end.
