   (a) Except as otherwise provided in the code, a security agreement is effective according to its terms between the parties, against purchasers of the collateral, and against creditors.
   (b) A transaction subject to this chapter is subject to
        (1) an applicable rule of law that establishes a different rule for consumers;
        (2) another statute or regulation that regulates the rates, charges, agreements, and practices for loans, credit sales, or other extensions of credit; and
