The penalty under this section shall not be less than ten dollars ($10) or more than twenty-five dollars ($25). If the payor who tendered the check shows to the Office of the Attorney General's satisfaction that the failure to honor payment of the check resulted from error by parties other than the payor, the office shall waive the penalty.
