Section 54-2A-103 - Knowledge and noticeA. A person knows a fact if the person has actual knowledge of it. B. A person has notice of a fact if the person: (2) has received a notification of it; (3) has reason to know it exists from all of the facts known to the person at the time in question; or (4) has notice of it pursuant to Subsection C or D of this section. C. A certificate of limited partnership on file in the office of the secretary of state is notice that the partnership is a limited partnership. A certificate of limited partnership stating the information required by Section 201 [54-2A-201 NMSA 1978] of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act on file in the office of the secretary of state is notice that the partnership is a limited liability limited partnership, except as otherwise provided in Section 1206 of that act. Any certificate of limited partnership is notice that the persons designated in the certificate as general partners are general partners. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection D of this section, the certificate is not notice of any other fact. D. A person has notice of: (1) another person's dissociation as a general partner, ninety days after the effective date of an amendment to the certificate of limited partnership that states that the other person has dissociated, or ninety days after the effective date of a statement of dissociation pertaining to the other person, whichever occurs first; (2) a limited partnership's dissolution, ninety days after the effective date of an amendment to the certificate of limited partnership stating that the limited partnership is dissolved; (3) a limited partnership's termination, ninety days after the effective date of a statement of termination; (4) a limited partnership's conversion pursuant to Article 11 [54-2A-1101 NMSA 1978] of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act, ninety days after the effective date of the articles of conversion; or (5) a merger pursuant to Article 11 of the Uniform Revised Limited Partnership Act, ninety days after the effective date of the articles of merger. E. A person notifies or gives a notification to another person by taking steps reasonably required to inform the other person in ordinary course, whether or not the other person learns of it. F. A person receives a notification when the notification: (1) comes to the person's attention; or (2) is delivered at the person's place of business or at any other place held out by the person as a place for receiving communications. G. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection H of this section, a person other than an individual knows, has notice or receives a notification of a fact for purposes of a particular transaction when the individual conducting the transaction for the person knows, has notice or receives a notification of the fact, or in any event when the fact would have been brought to the individual's attention if the person had exercised reasonable diligence. A person other than an individual exercises reasonable diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the individual conducting the transaction for the person and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Reasonable diligence does not require an individual acting for the person to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual's regular duties or the individual has reason to know of the transaction and that the transaction would be materially affected by the information. H. A general partner's knowledge, notice or receipt of a notification of a fact relating to the limited partnership is effective immediately as knowledge of, notice to or receipt of a notification by the limited partnership, except in the case of a fraud on the limited partnership committed by or with the consent of the general partner. A limited partner's knowledge, notice or receipt of a notification of a fact relating to the limited partnership is not effective as knowledge of, notice to or receipt of a notification by the limited partnership.
