The by-laws or contract may fix specific sums, in amounts fairly related to the actual damages ordinarily suffered in like circumstances, to be paid to the association as liquidated damages by a member who shall fail to perform any obligation to the association imposed upon him by the certificate of incorporation, the by-laws or a contract between him and the association. Such provision shall be valid and enforceable in an action brought by the association against a member.
