Scrub n' Dry can sue for compensatory and consequential damages to cover the losses directly resulting from the breach and any additional losses caused by the breach. Specific performance is typically not applicable for service contracts, punitive damages are not usually awarded for breach of contract, and a breach of contract is a civil matter, not criminal.
