57-5-7. [Contracts for sale, lease or license; revocation or disapproval; binding when not disapproved.]
In any competitive situation where there has been an executory contract entered into for the sale, lease or license of any product, or part thereof, the same shall be subject to revocation by the exhibitor signing said contract at any time prior to the acceptance of the same by the producer and/or distributor, or within a period of twenty days from the date of such contract. If not revoked by the exhibitor or disapproved by the producer and/or distributor within the period of twenty days from the date thereof, said contract shall, for all purposes, become valid and binding on the parties thereto. In case of revocation or disapproval on the part of any of the parties, the other party shall be given telegraphic notice thereof within twenty-four hours after such revocation or disapproval, and such revocation on the part of the exhibitor shall constitute a waiver as provided in Section five [57-5-5 NMSA 1978] of this act. The action of one competitive exhibitor shall in no way affect the rights of the other competitive exhibitors in, to or regarding any product.
