OPINION OF THE COURT
Read, J.
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has asked us to resolve two questions regarding General Business Law § 395-a, which (with certain exceptions) forbids the *169termination before expiration of any “maintenance agreement covering parts and/or service” (General Business Law § 395-a [2]). We hold that General Business Law § 395-a does not make contract clauses that contradict its terms null and void; and that violation of section 395-a alone does not give rise to a cause of action under General Business Law § 349.
