(c) Damages awarded by a court under this subchapter shall be computed as either of the following:  (1)  (A) Upon his or her election of damages at any time before final judgment is entered, the complaining party may recover the actual damages suffered by him or her as a result of the violation of this subchapter and any profits of the violator that are attributable to the violation.
