69OG: Subpart prevails over agreement

You could also call this:

“ The rules in this part of the law are stronger than any other agreements people might make. ”

This part of the law is more important than any other agreements you might have. If you have a contract or agreement that doesn’t match what this part of the law says, that contract or agreement won’t work. The law wins over any other arrangements that try to say something different.
