Spanish term or phrase: De forma enunciativa, y no exhaustiva
I fully understand what this means but want to see if we can nail the correct standard UK English term and put it into the glossary for all to benefit from...

"Excepciones del derecho de desistimiento:
De forma enunciativa, y no exhaustiva, el Usuario, no tendrá derecho de desistimiento cuando el suministro de bienes o productos han sido confeccionados conforme a las especificaciones del Usuario...."

UK English please. Thanks.

Explanation:
I think the easiest solution in this case is simply "for example" or "by way of an example".
In other cases you can use "including but not limited to", but that construction won't work here.

Thanks all this is quite a radical solution in that it cuts it right down but on the basis that brevity is usually good... :-)

agree  Christian [email protected]: this is how I see it all the time. It just can't be the beginning of the sentence.

This includes but is not limited to


Explanation:
I agree with Sergio, but in this exact context, I would phrase it as I propose

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  philgoddard: This doesn't fit the context either. "This includes but is not limited to the user may not".
35 mins
  -> Wow, you're everywhere, philgoddard. That's why you'd accommodate the surrounding text. "This includes but is not limited to the User not having the right..."
agree  Toni Castano: I agree that you have to adjust the phrase to the rest of the paragraph. However, this solution might work well with a slight "accomodation" effort.
