§969.2. Scope
A. Subject to the provisions of Subsections B and C of this Section, the parties to a motor vehicle credit transaction may agree that the law of the place where the motor vehicle credit transaction is entered into or the law of the residence of the consumer shall apply.
B. Whenever an action is brought in this state to enforce rights arising from a motor vehicle credit transaction wherever made, and whatever state's law shall contractually govern, the extender of credit shall, where applicable, reduce the charges sought to be collected so that they do not exceed those provided in this Chapter. This requirement applies only to then unpaid charges sought to be collected. The extender of credit shall not be required to refund or credit the consumer for any charges previously paid that are permitted under the laws of the chosen forum, but which are in excess of those permitted under this Chapter.
C. Except as otherwise provided herein, the agreements by a consumer to consent to the jurisdiction of another state and fix venue are invalid with respect to motor vehicle credit transactions, or modifications thereof, to which this Chapter applies.
D. All fees and charges authorized under this Chapter, whether or not such fees and charges constitute or are considered to be loan finance charges or credit service charges, shall be deemed to be "material to the determination of the interest rate" for purposes of exportation to consumers residing in other states under the most favored lender doctrine of federal law.
