Upon adverse adjudication, the defendant shall be liable for actual damages or Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) whichever is greater, together with court costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the plaintiff.

B. A service warranty and those contracts specified in subparagraphs a through e of paragraph 17 of Section 141.2 of this title shall not be deemed to create a special relationship between the parties which would give rise to an action in tort to recover for breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing. This section shall not be construed to preclude a breach of contract action for failure of the parties to comply with the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing in carrying out their obligations as set forth in the service warranty.

C. This section shall not be construed to authorize a civil action against the Insurance Department, its employees, or the Insurance Commissioner.
