If any person entitled to receive such redemption moneys, shall, upon payment or tender thereof to him or her, refuse to make and acknowledge such certificate of payment, he or she shall be liable to the person aggrieved thereby, in the sum of $100.00 damages, over and above all the actual damages sustained, to be recovered in a civil action, except that no damages of any kind may be recovered from any register of deeds who refuses to accept tender of payment after the time indorsed upon the deed when the deed becomes operative in case the premises are not redeemed, and the officer or person making the sale shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon the recital of the length of the redemption period contained in the notice of foreclosure in making such indorsement upon the deed.
