Subd. 3.  Other void and unenforceable agreements.  This section does not prevent a court from finding that an agreement is void and unenforceable as against public policy on other grounds or under other law.

 

Subd. 4.  Nonapplication to certain claims.  This section does not apply to claims against the state pursuant to section 3.736 or a municipality pursuant to section 466.02.
