No. That would require the count to deem a claim for direct loss of profits to be a claim for ''indirect'' loss profits.The words in parenthesis and subordinate to the phrase "indirect or consequential loss": an explanation of it and not an attempt to place a direct loss in the indirect category. This construction is more consistent with business common sense since the most likely (and often the only) damage a plaintiff would suffer from a failure to order would be a loss of profits from that order. It is unlikely a merchant would wish to exclude this direct loss.
