If a provision is implied into a deed or an agreement under this Act, it applies even if the deed or agreement says something different. You can enforce this provision if you are a party to the deed or agreement, or if it gives you a benefit. However, this provision may not apply if the FMA has exempted someone from following it under subpart 2.
