(1) The following may be settled by agreement if disputed in good faith. Any claim:
(A) By a consumer against a mortgage company for any violation of K.S.A. 9-2223 through 9-2234, and amendments thereto, including for a civil penalty; or
(B) against a consumer for default or for breach of a duty imposed by K.S.A. 9-2223 through 9-2234, and amendments thereto.

(3) A settlement in which the consumer waives or agrees to forego rights or benefits under K.S.A. 9-2223 through 9-2234, and amendments thereto, is invalid if the court, as a matter of law, finds the settlement to have been unconscionable at the time it was made. The competence of the consumer, any deception or coercion practiced upon the consumer, the nature and extent of the legal advice received by the consumer and the value of the consideration are relevant to the issue of unconscionability.
