Appellee sewer construction company introduced sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the parties' conduct implicitly modified their original contract and that appellant homeowners, by their conduct, waived the no-oral-modification clause. Regarding appellants' counterclaim of CSPA violation against appellee, appellants failed to prove actual economic damages resulting from appellee's CSPA violation. The trial court properly determined that the jury should award $200 in statutory damages should it find appellee to have violated the CSPA. The jury's finding that the CSPA violation was a bona fide error precluded an award of attorney fees.
