Relevant factsFree
After a design change increased CB Flooring's (plaintiff) costs and CB requested a substantial price adjustment, Questar (defendant) solicited a rebid from a previously outbid competitor before CB even responded to the change, then terminated CB's contract, citing both an alleged breach and its unqualified right to terminate for convenience under the contract; the trial court found CB had not breached and that Questar had not properly invoked the termination-for-convenience clause.
IssueFree
