355.5-103 Scope.
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
This article applies to letters of credit and to certain rights and obligations arising
out of transactions involving letters of credit.
The statement of a rule in this article does not by itself require, imply, or negate
application of the same or a different rule to a situation not provided for, or to a
person not specified, in this article.
With the exception of this subsection, subsections (1) and (4) of this section, KRS
355.5-102(1)(i) and (j), 355.5-106(4), and 355.5-114(4), and except to the extent
prohibited in KRS 355.1-302 and 355.5-117(4), the effect of this article may be
varied by agreement or by a provision stated or incorporated by reference in an
undertaking. A term in an agreement or undertaking generally excusing liability or
generally limiting remedies for failure to perform obligations is not sufficient to
vary obligations prescribed by this article.
Rights and obligations of an issuer to a beneficiary or a nominated person under a
letter of credit are independent of the existence, performance, or nonperformance of
a contract or arrangement out of which the letter of credit arises or which underlies
it, including contracts or arrangements between the issuer and the applicant and
between the applicant and the beneficiary.
