2. A lessor has no liability under this section for any failure to comply with any requirement imposed under NRS 100.105 if within 15 days after discovering an error, and prior to the institution of an action under this section or the receipt of written notice of the error, the lessor notifies the lessee of the error and makes whatever adjustments in the appropriate account are necessary to insure that the lessee will not be required to pay a charge in excess of the amount actually disclosed or correctly determined.

A lessor may not be held in any action brought under this section for a violation of NRS 100.105 if the lessor shows by a preponderance of evidence that the violation was not intentional and resulted from a bona fide error notwithstanding the maintenance of procedures reasonably adapted to avoid any such error.

No provision of this section imposing any liability applies to any act done or omitted in good faith in conformity with any rule, regulation or interpretation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or in conformity with any interpretation or approval by an official or employee of the Federal Reserve System duly authorized by the Board to issue such interpretation or approvals under such procedures as the Board may prescribe therefor, even if after the act or omission has occurred, the rule, regulation, interpretation or approval is amended, rescinded or determined by judicial or other authority to be invalid for any reason.
