Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 104.2718 — Liquidation or limitation of damages; deposits, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 104.2718. 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
or her 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 performance
for which the buyer is obligated under the contract or $500, whichever is smaller. 3. The buyer's right to restitution under subsection 2 is subject to offset to the
extent that the seller establishes: (a) A right to recover damages under the provisions of this Article other than subsection
1; and (b) The amount or value of any benefits received by the buyer directly or indirectly
by reason of the contract. 4. Where a seller has received payment in goods their reasonable value or the proceeds
of their resale shall be treated as payments for the purposes of subsection 2; but
if the seller has notice of the buyer's breach before reselling goods received in
part performance, the seller’s resale is subject to the conditions laid down in this
Article on resale by an aggrieved seller ( NRS 104.2706 ).
