(A) in violation of section 3 of this chapter; or
(B) without having first delivered to the contracting party and the prospective resident the disclosure statements as required by section 7 of this chapter; or
(2) a provider delivers to the prospective resident and the contracting party a disclosure statement that makes an untrue or misleading statement of material fact or omits a material fact;
the provider is liable to the individual who entered into the continuing care agreement for the repayment of all entrance fees, application fees, periodic charges, or other fees paid by that person to the provider less the reasonable value of care and lodging provided the resident until the untrue statement, misstatement, or omission was actually or should reasonably have been discovered by the resident or the contracting party, together with interest thereon at the legal rate for judgments, costs, and reasonable attorney's fees.
(b) Liability of the provider under this section for any untrue statement, misstatement, or omission in the disclosure statement shall exist only if the provider had actual knowledge of or, in the exercise of reasonable care, should have known of the untrue statement, misstatement, or omission.
