The lien claimant may file the amended affidavit for record at any time during the time that the lien acquired by the original affidavit continues in effect under section 1311.13 of the Revised Code.

The owner, part owner, or lessee who fails to serve the notice pursuant to this section is liable to any subcontractor or material supplier who becomes a lien claimant for all actual expenses incurred by the lien claimant in obtaining the information that would have been contained in the notice. (K) If an owner, part owner, lessee, or designee fails to post or maintain a copy of the notice of commencement as required by division (G)(1) of this section, the owner, part owner, or lessee is liable to a subcontractor, material supplier, or laborer who becomes a lien claimant for all actual expenses incurred by the lien claimant in obtaining the information otherwise provided by the posting.

(M)(1) If after the first work, labor, or material has been performed on or furnished to the improvement, the owner, part owner, lessee, or designee fails to serve, record, or post a notice of commencement as required by this section, the original contractor may, in writing, request the owner, part owner, lessee, or designee to serve, record, or post the notice. If an owner, part owner, lessee, or the designee of an owner, part owner, or lessee fails or refuses to serve, record, or post a notice of commencement within ten days of receipt of a request, the owner, part owner, or lessee is liable for the owner's, part owner's, or lessee's failure or refusal and for the designee's failure or refusal, without recourse to the original contractor for all damages, costs, and expenses which result from the filing of a valid mechanics' lien to the extent that the lien, damages, costs, and expenses could have been avoided through proper payment. (2) Nothing in this division shall be interpreted as to either of the following: (a) Relieving an original contractor from the duty to pay the original contractor's subcontractors, material suppliers, and laborers for labor or work performed or materials furnished pursuant to a contract directly with the original contractor; (b) Obligating an owner, part owner, or lessee to pay for work or labor performed or materials furnished by subcontractors, material suppliers, or laborers pursuant to direct contracts with the original contractor.

(3) Unless required to file the notice of commencement or an amended notice on behalf of the owner, part owner, or lessee, the party filing a written notice of commencement or amended notice on behalf of the owner, part owner, or lessee is not liable to the owner, part owner, or lessee for any errors contained in the notice of commencement or amended notice. (4) If a mortgage holder or an original contractor records a notice of commencement or amended notice on behalf of an owner, part owner, or lessee, such fact must be included on the notice or amended notice. (O) This section does not apply to a home construction contract as defined in section 1311.011 of the Revised Code, except that when a lending institution as defined in division (A)(3) of section 1311.011 of the Revised Code requires that a notice of commencement be recorded as part of the financing for a home construction contract, which is secured in whole or in part by a mortgage on real estate upon which the improvements are to be constructed, the owner, part owner, or lessee may file a notice of commencement pursuant to this section by recording the notice of commencement in the county recorder's office of the county where the owner, part owner, or lessee's property is located. If the property is located in more than one county, the owner, part owner, or lessee shall record the notice of commencement in the county recorders' office of each county in which the property is located. If the owner, part owner, or lessee files a notice of commencement pursuant to this division, the attachment, continuance, and priority provisions of section 1311.13 of the Revised Code apply to that improvement, but the notice of furnishing requirements specified in section 1311.05 of the Revised Code do not apply to that improvement. (P) The county recorder of the county where a notice of commencement is filed for record shall endorse the date and hour of its filing and cause it to be recorded as mechanics' liens are recorded, and collect the same fees for recording the notice of commencement as are provided in section 317.32 of the Revised Code. The recorder shall index the real property described in the notice of commencement and shall index the names of all owners, part owners, lessees, and land contract vendees in the direct index and the names of all original contractors in the reverse index as provided for in section 317.18 of the Revised Code.

If the owner, part owner, or lessee elects to record the notice of commencement and the improvement extends beyond one parcel of real property or one county, the owner, part owner, or lessee may, in lieu of using the legal description required in division (B)(1) of this section, use a description which reasonably describes the real property on which the improvement is to be made.

(R) If an owner, part owner, lessee, or designee fails to record a notice of commencement in accordance with this section, no subcontractor or material supplier who performs labor or work upon or furnishes material in furtherance of that improvement has to serve a notice of furnishing in accordance with section 1311.05 of the Revised Code in order to preserve the subcontractor's or material supplier's lien rights. (S) A notice of commencement filed as provided herein expires four years after its filing date unless the notice of commencement or amendments made to the notice of commencement specify otherwise.

§ 1332.32. Payment of video service provider fees
Status: in_force

September 24, 2007 Senate Bill 117 - 127th General Assembly (A) Not sooner than forty-five nor later than sixty days after the end of each calendar quarter, a video service provider shall pay a video service provider fee to each municipal corporation and each township in which it offers video service. The fee shall be calculated quarterly by determining the provider's gross revenue for the preceding calendar quarter as described in division (B) of this section and multiplying the result by the percentage specified in division (C)(1)(a) or (b) of this section. (B) Gross revenue shall be computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (1) Gross revenue shall consist of all of the following revenue for the calendar quarter that is collected by the provider for video service from all its subscribers having service addresses within the municipal corporation or, respectively, the unincorporated area of the township: (a) Recurring monthly charges for video service; (b) Event-based charges for video service, including, but not limited to, pay-per-view and video-on-demand charges; (c) Charges for rental of set top boxes and other video service equipment; (d) Service charges related to the provision of video service, including, but not limited to, activation, installation, and repair; (e) Administrative charges related to the provision of video service, including, but not limited to, service order and service termination charges. (2) Gross revenue shall not include any of the following: (a) Any taxes, fees, or assessments that are collected by the video service provider from video service subscribers for pass-through to any federal, state, or local government agency, including the video service provider fee authorized under this section, the fee authorized under division (F) of section 1332.30 of the Revised Code, and the federal communication commission user fee; (b) Uncollectible charges, except that uncollectible charges, all or part of which are written off as bad debt but subsequently collected, less the expenses of their collection shall be included in gross revenue in the quarter collected; (c) Late payment charges; (d) Maintenance charges; (e) Charges for services other than video service, reasonably identifiable on books or records the video service provider keeps in the regular course of business or by other reasonable means, that are aggregated or bundled with amounts billed to video service subscribers, including, but not limited to, any revenue received by a video service provider or its affiliates for telecommunications service, information service, or the provision of directory or internet advertising, including yellow pages, white pages, banner advertising, and electronic publishing; (f) Reimbursement by programmers of marketing costs actually incurred by the video service provider; (g) Advertising revenue, unless a municipal corporation enacts an ordinance or a board of township trustees adopts a resolution that uniformly applies to all video service providers. For those purposes, "advertising revenue" means the net revenue received by the video service provider for advertising on its subscription-based video service within a municipal corporation or the unincorporated area of a township. If such revenue is derived under a regional or national compensation contract or arrangement between the video service provider and one or more advertisers or advertising representatives, the amount of revenue derived for a municipal corporation or for the unincorporated area of a township shall be determined by multiplying the total net revenue received by the video service provider under the contract or arrangement by the percentage resulting from dividing the number of subscribers in the municipal corporation or unincorporated area of a township by the total number of regional or national subscribers that potentially receive the advertising under the contract or arrangement. The municipal corporation or township shall promptly notify affected video service providers of the ordinance or resolution, which shall not take effect until the first day of the first calendar quarter that begins more than thirty days after the notice. (h) Subject to division (B)(2)(g) of this section, any revenue not expressly enumerated in division (B)(1) of this section. (C)(1)(a) If in the calendar quarter a franchise fee is payable by a cable operator under a franchise in effect in a municipal corporation or township as provided under division (B) of section 1332.23 of the Revised Code, the percentage of gross revenue payable in that calendar quarter by a video service provider to the municipal corporation or township shall be the same percentage of gross revenue payable in that calendar quarter pursuant to that franchise, not to exceed five per cent. If there is more than one such franchise of a cable operator in effect in that quarter, the lowest such percentage shall be used. (b) Otherwise, the percentage shall be zero or such higher percentage, not to exceed five per cent, as is specified in an ordinance or resolution that the municipal corporation or township may enact or adopt for the purpose of this section. (2) The municipal corporation or township shall provide written notice to the video service provider of the appropriate percentage under division (C)(1)(a) or (b) of this section within ten days after it receives the notice required by division (A) of section 1332.27 of the Revised Code that the video service provider will commence to provide access to video service in the municipal corporation or unincorporated area of the township. A provider need not pay the fee unless the municipal corporation or township provided that notice. (D) A video service provider that pays a video service provider fee pursuant to this section may identify and collect the amount of that fee as a separate line item on the regular bill of each of its video service subscribers that has a service address within any portion of the municipal corporation or, respectively, within the unincorporated area of the township.

Status: in_force

August 19, 1994 Senate Bill 147 - 120th General Assembly (A) Unless otherwise agreed, if a certified check, cashier's check, or teller's check is taken for an obligation, the obligation is discharged to the same extent discharge would result if an amount of money equal to the amount of the instrument were taken in payment of the obligation. The discharge of the obligation does not affect any liability that the obligor may have as an indorser of the instrument taken in payment of the obligation. (B) Unless otherwise agreed and except as provided in division (A) of this section, if a note or an uncertified check is taken for an obligation, the obligation is suspended to the same extent the obligation would be discharged if an amount of money equal to the amount of the instrument were taken, and all of the following rules apply: (1) In the case of an uncertified check, suspension of the obligation continues until dishonor of the check or until it is paid or certified. Payment or certification of the check results in discharge of the obligation to the extent of the amount of the check. (2) In the case of a note, suspension of the obligation continues until dishonor of the note or until it is paid. Payment of the note results in discharge of the obligation to the extent of the payment. (3) Except as provided in division (B)(4) of this section, if the check or note is dishonored and the obligee of the obligation for which the instrument was taken is the person entitled to enforce the instrument, the obligee may enforce either the instrument or the obligation. In the case of an instrument of a third person that is negotiated to the obligee by the obligor, discharge of the obligor on the instrument also discharges the obligation. (4) If the person entitled to enforce the instrument taken for an obligation is a person other than the obligee, the obligee may not enforce the obligation to the extent the obligation is suspended. If the obligee is the person entitled to enforce the instrument but no longer has possession of it because it was lost, stolen, or destroyed, the obligation may not be enforced to the extent of the amount payable on the instrument, and to that extent the obligee's rights against the obligor are limited to enforcement of the instrument. (C) If an instrument other than one described in division (A) or (B) of this section is taken for an obligation, division (A) of this section shall apply if the instrument is one on which a bank is liable as maker or acceptor, and division (B) of this section shall apply in all other instances.

(4) "Obligated bank" means the issuer of a check that is a cashier's check or teller's check or the acceptor of a check that is a certified check. (B)(1) A claimant may assert a claim to the amount of a check by making a communication to the obligated bank that describes the check with reasonable certainty and that requests payment of the amount of the check, if all of the following apply: (a) If the check is a certified check, the claimant is the drawer or payee of the check, or, if the check is a cashier's check or teller's check, the claimant is the remitter or payee of the check; (b) The communication contains or is accompanied by a declaration of loss of the claimant with respect to the check; (c) The obligated bank receives the communication at a time and in a manner that affords the bank a reasonable time to act upon it before the check is paid; (d) The claimant provides reasonable identification if requested by the obligated bank.

(B) If a security interest described in division (A) of this section becomes perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earliest time or event described in that division, it remains perfected thereafter. If the security interest does not become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before that earliest time or event, it becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value. (C) A possessory security interest in collateral, other than goods covered by a certificate of title and as-extracted collateral consisting of goods, remains continuously perfected if: (1) The collateral is located in one jurisdiction and subject to a security interest perfected under the law of that jurisdiction; (2) Thereafter, the collateral is brought into another jurisdiction; and (3) Upon entry into the other jurisdiction, the security interest is perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction. (D) Except as otherwise provided in division (E) of this section, a security interest in goods covered by a certificate of title that is perfected by any method under the law of another jurisdiction when the goods become covered by a certificate of title from this state remains perfected until the security interest would have become unperfected under the law of the other jurisdiction had the goods not become so covered. (E) A security interest described in division (D) of this section becomes unperfected as against a purchaser of the goods for value and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the goods for value if the applicable requirements for perfection under division (B) of section 1309.311 or section 1309.313 of the Revised Code are not satisfied before the earlier of: (1) The time the security interest would have become unperfected under the law of the other jurisdiction had the goods not become covered by a certificate of title from this state; or (2) The expiration of four months after the goods had become so covered.

(H) The following rules apply to collateral to which a security interest attaches within four months after the debtor changes its location to another jurisdiction: (1) A financing statement filed before the change pursuant to the law of the jurisdiction designated in division (A) of section 1309.301 or division (C) of section 1309.305 of the Revised Code is effective to perfect a security interest in the collateral if the financing statement would have been effective to perfect a security interest in the collateral had the debtor not changed its location. (2) If a security interest perfected by a financing statement that is effective under division (H)(1) of this section becomes perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier of the time the financing statement would have become ineffective under the law of the jurisdiction designated in division (A) of section 1309.301 or division (C) of section 1309.305 of the Revised Code or the expiration of the four-month period, it remains perfected thereafter. If the security interest does not become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier time or event, it becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value. (I) If a financing statement naming an original debtor is filed pursuant to the law of the jurisdiction designated in division (A) of section 1309.301 or division (C) of section 1309.305 of the Revised Code and the new debtor is located in another jurisdiction, the following rules apply: (1) The financing statement is effective to perfect a security interest in collateral acquired by the new debtor before, and within four months after, the new debtor becomes bound under division (D) of section 1309.203 of the Revised Code, if the financing statement would have been effective to perfect a security interest in the collateral had the collateral been acquired by the original debtor. (2) A security interest perfected by the financing statement and that becomes perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier of the time the financing statement would have become ineffective under the law of the jurisdiction designated in division (A) of section 1309.301 or division (C) of section 1309.305 of the Revised Code or the expiration of the four-month period remains perfected thereafter. A security interest that is perfected by the financing statement but that does not become perfected under the law of the other jurisdiction before the earlier time or event becomes unperfected and is deemed never to have been perfected as against a purchaser of the collateral for value.

§ 1311.11. Notifying lienholder to commence suit
Status: in_force

April 10, 1991 House Bill 238 - 118th General Assembly (A)(1) The owner, part owner, lessee, mortgagee, or any other person with an interest in real property upon which a lien has been taken, or any original contractor or subcontractor who has provided a bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security in accordance with division (C) of this section, may notify the lienholder to commence suit on the lien, by written notice delivered to the lienholder in one of the following manners: (a) At the address of the lienholder as shown in the affidavit of lien; (b) Through his agent indicated on the affidavit of lien; (c) At any later address of the lienholder that has been delivered in writing to the owner, part owner, lessee, mortgagee, other person with an interest in the real property, original contractor, or subcontractor. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the notice to commence suit shall be served by the sheriff of the county in which the land upon which the lien has been taken is situated, upon payment of the same mileage and fees as provided by law with respect to the service of summons. Except as otherwise provided in this section, if the address of the person to be served, as shown on the affidavit of lien or other writing presented by the person seeking service of the notice to commence suit, is outside the county in which the land is located, but within the state, the sheriff shall forward the notice to commence suit to the sheriff of the county in which the address of the person to be served is located, for service by such sheriff. (2) At the request of the person seeking service of the notice to commence suit, the sheriff may send the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address of the lienholder or the lienholder's agent, whether that address is within the county in which the land is located or elsewhere. If the address of the person to be served is outside the state, the sheriff shall send the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested. If the notice is sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, service of the notice is deemed completed when a return receipt has been received indicating the delivery of the notice. If a return receipt shows a failure or refusal of delivery, service is deemed completed after the sheriff mails a second copy of the notice by ordinary mail, provided that the ordinary mail envelope is not returned by the postal authorities within fourteen days of the date of mailing with an endorsement showing failure of delivery. (3) If service cannot be made at the address shown on the affidavit of lien or other writing presented by the person seeking service of the notice to commence suit, and if the lienholder or his agent cannot be located by diligent search, the notice to commence suit may be served by publication once each week for six consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the land is located. Upon completion of service in all cases, a copy of the notice shall be furnished to the owner, part owner, lessee, mortgagee, or other person requesting service, which copy shall have the return of the sheriff endorsed on it, and in addition, in cases of service by certified mail or by publication, the copy shall have attached to it the return receipt or an affidavit that service by publication has been completed. (B) Within thirty days after service is completed, the person who sought service shall do all of the following: (1) Execute an affidavit setting forth the manner in which service was accomplished; (2) Attach to the affidavit a copy of the notice to commence suit, with the sheriff's return endorsed on the notice or with a certified mail return receipt indicating the service or attempted service; (3) File the items with the recorder of the county in which the property is located. The recorder shall index and record the notice in the same manner and receive the same fees as for releases of mortgages and other liens. If the lienholder fails to commence suit upon the lien within sixty days after completion of service upon him of the notice to commence suit, or if the action is commenced but dismissed with prejudice before adjudication, the lien is void and the property wholly discharged from the lien. When a lien is void by reason of failure to commence suit within sixty days after service of the notice to commence suit, the claim upon which the lien was founded is not prejudiced by the failure, except for the loss of the lien as security for the claim. (C)(1) Before or after suit has been commenced upon a lien, and whether or not a notice to commence suit has been served, a bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or, subject to this division, other reasonable security may be provided in double the amount of the claim secured by the lien or, if the claim secured by the lien exceeds five thousand dollars, in the amount of one and one-half times the amount of the claim, conditioned upon payment of any judgment and costs. A bond shall be drawn in favor of the lienholder and executed by sufficient sureties, if required. Other reasonable security may be provided only with the consent of the lienholder. An application shall be made to the court of common pleas for approval of a bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security. The bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security shall be filed with the application, and notice of a hearing on the application shall be given to the lienholder or his agent. If the application is filed before suit is commenced on the lien, the notice of hearing shall be served on the lienholder or his agent in the same manner as provided in division (A) of this section for service of the notice to commence suit. If the application is filed after suit is commenced, the notice of hearing shall be given in the same manner as a notice of hearing on motions or other applications before the court. (2) At the hearing on the application, the only issues to be determined are the sufficiency of the bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security, and, if the security is not a bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, or obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, whether the lienholder has consented to the security and the security is reasonable. If the court finds the bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security sufficient and, if the security is not a bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, or obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, that the lienholder has consented to the security and that the security is reasonable, it shall make an entry of approval. If a bond is approved, the court shall order that the bond be retained in the file. If a cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security is approved, the court shall enter an order that it considers appropriate relative to the manner in which the cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security shall be secured. During the pendency of a suit upon the lien, the court may enter an order that the amount of other reasonable security is to be increased or decreased or an order that action is to be taken with respect to the security that the court deems appropriate. (3) As of the date of the entry of approval, the security of the bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security shall be substituted for the security of the lien, and the lien is void and the property wholly discharged from the lien. If an action on the lien has been or is commenced and a bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security has been or is provided in accordance with this section, the action on the lien is terminated automatically, the land is freed from the lien, and the action on the lien may proceed as an action on the bond, cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security, through, if appropriate, a supplemental pleading bringing in as additional parties sureties on the bond. A bond is discharged and the sureties released, or a cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security provided is released, upon failure of the lienholder to commence suit within the time allowed pursuant to division (B) of this section, or if a suit on the security is dismissed with prejudice to the plaintiff or judgment is entered against the plaintiff, or if judgment is entered in favor of the plaintiff upon payment of the judgment with costs. The court may direct that costs and a judgment in favor of the plaintiff in a suit be paid from a cash deposit, general obligation of any state government or of the United States government, obligation insured by an agency of the United States government, or other reasonable security, and may direct, if necessary, that other reasonable security be sold and the proceeds of the sale be applied to the judgment and costs.

This notice shall contain an itemized statement of the amount due, a description of the die, mold, pattern, or form being held, and a statement that, unless the amount due and the cost of the notification are paid within thirty days from the date that the notice is sent, the molder will do one of the following: (1) Continue to retain possession of the die, mold, pattern, or form, and commence a civil action in a court of common pleas pursuant to division (C) of this section to enforce the lien provided by division (A) of this section by obtaining a judgment for the monetary amounts described in division (A)(1) of this section and a judgment permitting the die, mold, pattern, or form to be sold at an execution sale; (2) Continue to retain possession of the die, mold, pattern, or form until the amount due and the cost of the notification are paid.

IF A COURT, JURY, OR ARBITRATOR FINDS IN YOUR FAVOR, BUT DOES NOT AWARD YOU AN AMOUNT MORE THAN THE VALUE OF THE SUPPLIER'S REMEDY, THE SUPPLIER WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR TREBLE DAMAGES, ATTORNEY'S FEES, OR ANY COURT COSTS YOU INCUR AFTER THE DATE THIS CURE OFFER WAS MADE (fill in the date). VALUE OF SUPPLIER'S REMEDY = $(fill in the blank) THE SELLER ALSO AGREES TO PAY YOUR ATTORNEY'S FEES, UP TO $2,500.00, THAT ARE NECESSARY OR REASONABLY RELATED TO THE FILING OF YOUR INITIAL CLAIM, AS WELL AS YOUR COURT COSTS. (E) If the consumer files a notice rejecting the cure offer provided by the supplier, if a cure offer is deemed rejected pursuant to division (B) of this section, or if no cure offer is made to the consumer by the supplier within the time frame set forth in this section, the consumer may proceed with a civil action in accordance with this chapter. (F) If the consumer files a notice accepting a cure offer, then both of the following shall apply: (1)(a) The consumer shall, upon accepting the cure offer, request an amount, up to two thousand five hundred dollars, from the supplier to pay attorney's fees and an amount to pay court costs. The consumer shall provide to the supplier bills and other documents evidencing these amounts. (b) If the supplier finds the requested amounts to be reasonable, then the supplier shall pay the consumer the requested amounts along with the offered remedy upon the resolution of the cure offer. (c) If the supplier finds the requested amounts to be unreasonable, then the supplier shall, within ten days of the consumer accepting the cure offer, seek a ruling from the court appointed to the case. The court shall review the documentation provided by the consumer evidencing the requested amounts and shall award to the consumer attorney's fees, up to two thousand five hundred dollars, that are necessary or reasonably related to the filing of the claim and court costs. (2) The agreed upon resolution shall be completed and any court-ordered attorney's fees and court costs shall be paid within a reasonable time in accordance with court supervision. The court may at any time, in its discretion, extend any deadlines set forth by rule, statute, or order of the court for filing motions or pleadings, or conducting discovery in order to allow the resolution to be completed. (G) If a judge, jury, or arbitrator awards actual economic damages as defined in section 1345.09 of the Revised Code that are not greater than the value of a supplier's remedy included in a cure offer made pursuant to this section, the consumer shall not be entitled to any of the following: (1) An award of treble damages; (2) Any court costs incurred by the consumer after the date the consumer or the consumer's attorney receives the cure offer; (3) Any attorney's fees incurred by the consumer after the date the consumer or the consumer's attorney receives the cure offer from the supplier. The comparison of actual economic damages and the supplier's remedy shall not take into consideration statutory treble damages, court costs, or attorney's fees. (H) A cure offer is not admissible as evidence in a jury trial of the consumer's action seeking a private remedy pursuant to section 1345.09 of the Revised Code as described in division (A) of this section. After a jury renders its verdict in that action or if the action is tried to a judge, the judge shall consider the cure offer only if the offer was timely delivered in accordance with this section and only for the limited purpose of determining whether treble damages may be awarded and the amount of court costs and reasonable attorney's fees that may be awarded. A cure offer is not admissible in a court proceeding for any other purpose. (I) As used in this section, "cure offer" means a written offer of monetary compensation that is made by a supplier to a consumer or to the consumer's attorney in response to a consumer's claim of a violation of Chapter 1345. of the Revised Code. A cure offer shall include reasonable legal fees necessary or reasonably related to the filing of the initial complaint of up to two thousand five hundred dollars and court costs incurred by the consumer and related to the filing of the initial complaint.

(B) Except as provided in divisions (C) and (D) of this section and subject to section 2325.18 of the Revised Code, interest on a judgment, decree, or order for the payment of money rendered in a civil action based on tortious conduct or a contract or other transaction, including, but not limited to a civil action based on tortious conduct or a contract or other transaction that has been settled by agreement of the parties, shall be computed from the date the judgment, decree, or order is rendered to the date on which the money is paid and shall be at the rate determined pursuant to section 5703.47 of the Revised Code that is in effect on the date the judgment, decree, or order is rendered. That rate shall remain in effect until the judgment, decree, or order is satisfied. (C)(1) If, upon motion of any party to a civil action that is based on tortious conduct, that has not been settled by agreement of the parties, and in which the court has rendered a judgment, decree, or order for the payment of money, the court determines at a hearing held subsequent to the verdict or decision in the action that the party required to pay the money failed to make a good faith effort to settle the case and that the party to whom the money is to be paid did not fail to make a good faith effort to settle the case, interest on the judgment, decree, or order shall be computed as follows: (a) In an action in which the party required to pay the money has admitted liability in a pleading, from the date the cause of action accrued to the date on which the order, judgment, or decree was rendered; (b) In an action in which the party required to pay the money engaged in the conduct resulting in liability with the deliberate purpose of causing harm to the party to whom the money is to be paid, from the date the cause of action accrued to the date on which the order, judgment, or decree was rendered; (c) In all other actions, for the longer of the following periods: (i) From the date on which the party to whom the money is to be paid gave the first notice described in division (C)(1)(c)(i) of this section to the date on which the judgment, order, or decree was rendered. The period described in division (C)(1)(c)(i) of this section shall apply only if the party to whom the money is to be paid made a reasonable attempt to determine if the party required to pay had insurance coverage for liability for the tortious conduct and gave to the party required to pay and to any identified insurer, as nearly simultaneously as practicable, written notice in person or by certified mail that the cause of action had accrued. (ii) From the date on which the party to whom the money is to be paid filed the pleading on which the judgment, decree, or order was based to the date on which the judgment, decree, or order was rendered.
