(b) The failure of a foreign limited liability company to register in this state does not impair the validity of any contract or act of the foreign limited liability company or prevent: the foreign limited liability company from defending any action, suit, or proceeding in any court of this state.

(c) A foreign limited liability company, by transacting business in this state without registration, shall be deemed to consent to service of process with respect to causes of action arising out of business transacted in this state by registered mail addressed to the foreign limited liability company at the office required to be maintained in the state or other jurisdiction where it is organized, or, if not so required, at the principal office of the limited liability company.

(d) The liability of a member or members of a foreign limited liability company is governed by the laws of the state or other jurisdictions where it is organized, and any limitations on that liability are not waived solely by reason of having transacted business in Alabama without registration.
