How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• Recognizing that “the prevailing federal court view [is] that forum clauses foster policy interests important to the parties and the courts.”
• concluding that the “forum selection clause [was] valid, exclusive and enforceable” in ruling on a motion brought pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6)
• noting that conflict-of-law analysis is unnecessary where the \outcome is the same under the substantive law of either jurisdiction\
• noting that the choice-of-law question governing the enforceability of a forum selection clause in other contexts has not been determined in the First Circuit
• finding that a forum-selection clause was impliedly mandatory where it stated “venue shall lie exclusively in Clark County, Washington.”
• finding that when “the outcome is the same under the substantive law of either jurisdiction” there is no actual conflict and the court “need not resolve the [choice-of-law] issue.”
