Section 7-5-111 Remedies. (a) If an issuer wrongfully dishonors or repudiates its obligation
to pay money under a letter of credit before presentation, the beneficiary, successor, or
nominated person presenting on its own behalf may recover from the issuer the amount that
is the subject of the dishonor or repudiation. If the issuer's obligation under the letter
of credit is not for the payment of money, the claimant may obtain specific performance or,
at the claimant's election, recover an amount equal to the value of performance from the issuer.
In either case, the claimant may also recover incidental but not consequential damages. The
claimant is not obligated to take action to avoid damages that might be due from the issuer
under this subsection. If, although not obligated to do so, the claimant avoids damages, the
claimant's recovery from the issuer must be reduced by the amount of damages avoided. The
issuer has the burden of proving the amount of damages avoided. In the case of...

Section 7-2-718 Liquidation or limitation of damages; deposits. (1) Damages for breach by either
party may be liquidated in the agreement but only at an amount which is reasonable in the
light of the anticipated or actual harm caused by the breach, the difficulties of proof of
loss, and the inconvenience or nonfeasibility of otherwise obtaining an adequate remedy. A
term fixing unreasonably large liquidated damages is void as a penalty. (2) Where the seller
justifiably withholds delivery of goods because of the buyer's breach, the buyer is entitled
to restitution of any amount by which the sum of his payments exceeds: (a) The amount to which
the seller is entitled by virtue of terms liquidating the seller's damages in accordance with
subsection (1), or (b) In the absence of such terms, 20 percent of the value of the total

Section 7-2-714 Buyer's damages for breach in regard to accepted goods. (1) Where the buyer
has accepted goods and given notification (subsection (3) of Section 7-2-607) he may recover
as damages for any nonconformity of tender the loss resulting in the ordinary course of events

incidental and consequential damages under Section 7-2-715 may also be...
