Syllabus

CONTRACTS – BREACH OF CONTRACT – LIQUIDATED DAMAGES – DAMAGES – EVIDENCE – SUFFICIENCY AND WEIGHT: Where a liquidated-damages clause in the parties' contract failed to specify in clear and unambiguous terms the amount of damages that would be imposed if defendant breached the contract, the trial court did not err in determining that the liquidated-damages clause was unenforceable. Where plaintiff failed to establish that it incurred damages resulting from defendant's breach of contract, the trial court's judgment in favor of defendant on the breach-of-contract claim was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
