  2  4 routing of transaction data by a central routing unit or a

  2  6    (2)  Except as provided under paragraph "b", this This
  2  7 chapter does not apply to a transaction to the extent it is

  2 32 by first-class mail postage prepaid, or by courier may be
  2 33 varied by agreement to the extent permitted by the other law.
