agree  Parrot: Hey, that's a good one - dejame grabarlo... (take out the parenthesis, though).

  -> Yup, I put the parenthesis because I was translating a text into Spanish that put it exactly that way, but you're right - it's usually without parenthesis, and often delimited by commas.

  -> yeah, that's what I meant when I put "delimited by commas" above - I meant the "but not limited to" part.

Explanation:
It looks like an invention patent. We have translated well over 100 of them, and they usually include (before the claims) a paragraph like the one transcribed below (from a real case):

"While the invention has been depicted, described, and is defined by reference to particular preferred embodiments of the invention, such references do not imply a limitation on the invention, and no such limitation is to be inferred. The invention is capable of considerable modification, alteration, and equivalents in form and function, as will occur to those ordinarily skilled in the pertinent arts. The depicted and described preferred embodiments of the invention are exemplary only, and are not exhaustive of the scope of the invention. Consequently, the invention is intended to be limited only by the spirit and scope of the appended claims"

Espero que esto te ayude. La traducción indicada bajo "Answer" se ha incluido con carácter enunciativo y no limitativo.

Son las dos que más comúnmente aparecen en los contratos...
FYI el original también podría decir: 1) incluyendo, pero a título meramente enunciativo y no TAXATIVO...
2) con carácter enunciativo y no taxativo...
