the steps of restricting, suspending or terminating,,, and any other steps without limitation
Explanation:
I understand that the list refers to some measures (steps) that YYY may take, rather than types of breaches of the contract.

"without limitation" means that YYY is not limited to these measures and may take others as well.

Explanation:
If you're asking what this whole phrase means, within the contect of the sentence it means that

YYY will take any steps that it thinks are necessary.
These steps will be taken if there is a (suspected) breach of the Agreement.
The breaches don't have any limitation, i.e. can involve any of the following types of breach.
The types of breach of the Agreement include restricting OR suspending OR terminating any or all of the following [presumably a list of services]

It's written in such a way that does express that already, so I don't feel it needs a rewrite.

Hope that helps!
