acme the rejected current regulator proposal what could be the possible alternative course of actions to get the contract

Contractual limitations of liability are generally upheld if they meet certain legal criteria. However, the enforceability of such limitations can vary based on jurisdiction and the nature of the contract. Here are some factors to consider.
