NORDYNE v. INTL CONTROLS & MEASUREMENTS CORP
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit (2001) | 262 F.3d 843
TL;DR: A buyer and seller disputed which party's form controlled their agreement's terms. The court held that the seller's detailed price quotation was the offer, which the buyer accepted, thereby incorporating the seller's forum-selection clause into the contract.
Legal Significance: Illustrates that a detailed price quotation, especially in the context of a long-standing relationship and for a custom product, can constitute an offer, shifting the traditional "battle of the forms" analysis and binding the offeree to terms incorporated by reference.
