(a) Where a contract provides that an association may collect the price of products or commodities sold through the association or facilities created by it, the association may maintain an action against any buyer of such products or commodities for the price, in its own name, without joining such stockholder or patron, with the same force and effect as if the association held title to the products or commodities and to the claim for the price thereof, and it shall not be a defense to any buyer to plead payment of the price to the stockholder or patron where the buyer has notice of the contract between the association and its stockholder or patron prior to the alleged payment.
(b) Where a contract provides that an association may make, or have the buyer make, a deduction from the proceeds of the sale of products or commodities sold through the association or facilities created by it, to be paid to the association, the association may maintain an action for the deduction, in its own name, without joining its stockholder or patron, with the same force and effect as if the association held title to the products or commodities and to the claim for the full price thereof, and it shall not be a defense to any buyer to plead payment of the price to the stockholder or patron where the buyer has notice of the contract between the association and its stockholder or patron prior to the alleged payment.
(c) Where a contract provides that an association may make, or have the buyer make, a deduction from the proceeds of the sale of products or commodities sold through the association or facilities created by it, to be paid to the association, the association shall have the right to maintain an action for the deduction in its own name without joining its stockholder or patron, with the same force and effect as if the association held title to the products or commodities or to the claim for the full price of the products or commodities, or to a claim in the amount of such deduction, and it shall not be a defense to a buyer to plead payment of all of the price of the products or commodities, including the deduction authorized to be made, to the stockholder or patron where such buyer has notice of the contract between the association and its stockholder or patron prior to the payment, or to plead that the effect of the provisions of this chapter constitute a partial assignment of the claim of the stockholder or patron.
