Civil Practice : Contract Dispute – Forum Selection Clause

Where a Missouri company sued an Arkansas company in Missouri for fraudulent inducement to enter a contract for the sale of licensed software and equipment, the plaintiff claimed fraud in the inducement of the whole contract and not as to the forum selection clause and the contract reflected due consideration between experienced parties, so the forum selection clause was not unfair or unreasonable, and dismissal is affirmed based on the parties’ contractual agreement to litigate all disputes in Arkansas.

Judgment is affirmed.
