Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the venue for any cause of action, claim, lawsuit, arbitration or mediation in which the parties or litigants are a manufacturer and a motor vehicle dealer shall be the state of Tennessee. This section may not be waived in any contract or other agreement and to do so would be against the public policy of Tennessee.
