(b) Except as otherwise provided in this section, an agreement between an account debtor and an assignor not to assert against an assignee a claim or defense that the account debtor may have against the assignor is enforceable by an assignee that takes an assignment

(1) the record has the same effect as if the record included the statement; and(2) the account debtor may assert against an assignee the claims and defenses that would have been available if the record included the statement.(e) This section is subject to law other than this chapter that establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal, family, or household purposes.(f) Except as otherwise provided in (d) of this section, this section does not displace law other than this chapter that gives effect to an agreement by an account debtor not to assert a claim or defense against an assignee.
