United States Eighth Circuit

In a breach of contract action alleging that defendant failed to pay for product it had ordered and received from plaintiff, judgment for plaintiff is affirmed where the district court had personal jurisdiction over defendant because defendant purposefully availed itself of the privilege of conducting activities within Iowa when it solicited an Iowa company for business, sought to purchase the Iowa company's products on credit provided by the Iowa company, negotiated and fulfilled the "customer pick up" delivery term, and entered into more than 100 transactions over the course of two years, during which it relied on the Iowa company for customer support.
