What is the difference between incidental damages and consequential damages?


An injured buyer is generally entitled to incidental and consequential damages. Incidental damages for buyers include such costs as advertising for replacements, sending buyers to obtain new goods, and shipping the replacement goods. Consequential damages, or losses that are caused by a breach, can be much more extensive and may include lost profits caused by the seller's failure to deliver. A buyer, however, only gets consequential damages for harm that was unavoidable.
