This chapter does not apply to insurance policies and every provision in any such policy requiring arbitration or restricting a party thereto or beneficiary thereof from enforcing any right under it by usual legal proceedings in ordinary tribunals or limiting the time to do so is void and unenforceable. However, nothing in this chapter may be deemed to impair the enforcement of or invalidate a contractual provision for arbitration entered into between insurance companies.
