N.M. Stat. § 55-2-326

Current through 2024, ch. 69
Section 55-2-326 - Sale on approval and sale or return; rights of creditors
(1) Unless otherwise agreed, if delivered goods may be returned by the buyer even though they conform to the contract, the transaction is:
(a) a "sale on approval" if the goods are delivered primarily for use; and
(b) a "sale or return" if the goods are delivered primarily for resale.
(2) Goods held on approval are not subject to the claims of the buyer's creditors until acceptance; goods held on sale or return are subject to such claims while in the buyer's possession.
(3) Any "or return" term of a contract for sale is to be treated as a separate contract for sale within the statute of frauds section of this article (Section 55-2-201 NMSA 1978) and as contradicting the sale aspect of the contract within the provisions of this article on parol or extrinsic evidence (Section 55-2-202 NMSA 1978).
