Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The UCC permits the buyer to agree not to assert claims or defenses if the assignee takes the assignment for value, in good faith, and without notice of conflicting claims or of certain defenses. This type of provision is allowed because it renders the seller's rights more marketable. However, the FTC does not permit such waiver of defense provisions in consumer credit transactions. Most states also have statutes protecting buyers in consumer transactions by prohibiting waiver of defenses.
