It doesn't matter whether or not your opponent contacts you. You were already contacting your opponent's pyramid. You already violated G27. 3 points to your opponent, unless the contact is inconsequential.

If your opponent is also contacting the pyramid when they contact you, other rules apply--that's a Foul, Technical Foul, or 30 points plus climb points, or a strategy to cause a penalty (no foul points awarded).
