(b) The statement of a rule in this chapter does not by itself require, imply, or negate application of the same or a different rule to a situation not provided for, or to a person not specified, in this chapter.
(c) With the exception of this subsection, (a) and (d) of this section, Alaska Stat. § 45.05.102(a)(9) and (10), 45.05.106(d), and 45.05.114(d), and except to the extent prohibited in Alaska Stat. § 45.01.302 and Alaska Stat. § 45.05.117(d), the effect of this chapter may be varied by agreement or by a provision stated or incorporated by reference in an undertaking.
