Any person who violates the terms of an injunction issued under section 2458 of this title shall
forfeit and pay to the state a civil penalty of not more than $ 10,000.00 for each violation. For the purposes
of this section, the court issuing such injunction shall retain jurisdiction, and the cause shall be

petition for recovery of such civil penalty.
(b)
Any consumer who contracts for goods or services in reliance upon false or fraudulent representations or
practices prohibited by section 2453 of this title, or who sustains damages or injury as a result of any false
or fraudulent representations or practices prohibited by section 2453 of this title, or prohibited by any rule
or regulation made pursuant to section 2453 of this title may sue for appropriate equitable relief and may sue
and recover from the seller, solicitor or other violator the amount of his damages, or the consideration or
the value of the consideration given by the consumer, reasonable attorney's fees, and exemplary damages not
exceeding three times the value of the consideration given by the consumer. Any language, written or oral,
used by a seller or solicitor, which attempts to exclude or modify recovery of the penalty or reasonable
attorney's fees shall be unenforceable.
(c)
Any person alleged to have violated the terms of subsection (b) of this section shall be entitled to a
trial by jury, unless waived according to law.
