(c) An action for violation of this section may be brought:  (1) In the county where the plaintiff resides;  (2) In the county where the plaintiff conducts business;  (3) In the county where the card or other purchasing mechanism or device was sold, marketed, promoted, advertised, or otherwise distributed; or  (4) In the Pulaski County Circuit Court if the action is initiated by the Attorney General.    (d)  (1) If, in such action, the court shall find that the defendant is violating or has violated any of the provisions of this subchapter, it shall enjoin the defendant from a continuance thereof.  (2) It shall not be necessary, except to recover for actual damages under subdivision (d)(3)(B) of this section, that actual damages to the plaintiff be alleged or proved.  (3) In addition to injunctive relief, the plaintiff in the action shall be entitled to recover from the defendant:  (A) Whichever is greater:  (i) One hundred dollars ($100) per card or other purchasing mechanism or device sold, marketed, promoted, advertised, or otherwise distributed within the State of Arkansas; or  (ii) Ten thousand dollars ($10,000);    (B) Three (3) times the amount of the actual damages, if any, sustained;  (C) Reasonable attorney's fees;  (D) Costs; and  (E) Any other relief which the court deems proper.

(2) The period of limitation provided in this section may be extended for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days if the person bringing the action proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the failure to timely commence the action was caused by the defendant's engaging in conduct solely calculated to induce the plaintiff to refrain from or postpone the commencement of the action.
