When persons agree to participate in conciliation under this chapter, all of the following apply:
(A) Evidence of anything said or of any admission made in the course of the conciliation is not admissible in evidence, and disclosure of any such evidence shall not be compelled, in any arbitration or civil action in which, pursuant to law, testimony may be compelled to be given. However, this division does not limit the admissibility of evidence if all parties participating in conciliation consent to its disclosure.
