(a) A foreign limited liability partnership transacting business in this state may not maintain an action or proceeding in this state unless it has in effect a statement of foreign qualification.

(c) Limitations on personal liability of partners are not waived solely by transacting business in this state without a statement of foreign qualification.
(d) If a foreign limited liability partnership transacts business in this state without a statement of foreign qualification, the secretary of state is its agent for service of process with respect to claims for relief arising out of the transaction of business in this state.
