Section § 1751
This law states that if a consumer tries to give up their rights under this section, it won't count and is automatically invalid. Basically, you can't sign away these protections even if you agree to do so.

Section § 1752
This section explains that the rules and solutions provided in this title are not the only options available for dealing with violations or bad behavior covered by it. Other laws can also offer ways to handle these situations. Additionally, it clarifies that nothing in this title takes away the rights of the Attorney General or anyone else to start class actions based on other laws. Consumers can still file class actions, and this title doesn't restrict their ability to use other legal routes. If an action is wrong under this title and also under another law, a consumer can choose to use the remedies and procedures from that other law.
The provisions of this title are not exclusive. The remedies provided herein for violation of any section of this title or for conduct proscribed by any section of this title shall be in addition to any other procedures or remedies for any violation or conduct provided for in any other law.
Nothing in this title shall limit any other statutory or any common law rights of the Attorney General or any other person to bring class actions. Class actions by consumers brought under the specific provisions of Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 1770) of this title shall be governed exclusively by the provisions of Chapter 4 (commencing
with Section 1780); however, this shall not be construed so as to deprive a consumer of any statutory or common law right to bring a class action without resort to this title. If any act or practice proscribed under this title also constitutes a cause of action in common law or a violation of another statute, the consumer may assert such common law or statutory cause of action under the procedures and with the remedies provided for in such law.
