against assignee.
RIGHTS ACQUIRED BY ASSIGNEE;
CLAIMS AND DEFENSES AGAINST ASSIGNEE
(a) Unless an account debtor has made an enforceable agreement
not to assert defenses or claims, and subject to subsections (b)
through (e) of this section, the rights of an assignee are subject
to:
(1) all terms of the agreement between the account debtor and
assignor and any defense or claim in recoupment arising from the
transaction that gave rise to the contract; and
(2) any other defense or claim of the account debtor against
the assignor which accrues before the account debtor receives a
notification of the assignment signed by the assignor or the
assignee.
(b) Subject to subsection (c) of this section and except as
otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this section, the claim of
an account debtor against an assignor may be asserted against an
assignee under subsection (a) of this section only to reduce the
amount the account debtor owes.
(c) This section is subject to law other than this article
which establishes a different rule for an account debtor who is an
individual and who incurred the obligation primarily for personal,
family, or household purposes.
(d) In a consumer transaction, if a record evidences the
account debtor's obligation, law other than this article requires
that the record include a statement to the effect that the account
debtor's recovery against an assignee with respect to claims and
defenses against the assignor may not exceed amounts paid by the
account debtor under the record, and the record does not include
such a statement, the extent to which a claim of an account debtor
against the assignor may be asserted against an assignee is
determined as if the record included such a statement.
(e) This section does not apply to an assignment of a health-
care-insurance receivable.
