Except as provided in the Uniform Commercial Code [Chapter 55, NMSA 1978], no contract for labor, or for the payment or delivery of property in which the time of performance is not fixed, can be converted into a money demand until a demand of performance has been made and the maker refuses or a reasonable time is allowed for performance.
