      (a) If the debtor pays or agrees to pay the claim or any portion of the claim, the payment or agreement to pay:

             (1) May be construed as an acknowledgment of the claim by the debtor; and

             (2) As provided in NRS 11.200, does not constitute a waiver by the debtor of any applicable statute of limitations set forth in NRS 11.190 that otherwise precludes the collection of the claim; and
