Chateau des Charrnes Wines Ltd. v. Sabate USA inc.
328 F. 3d 528, C. A. 9 ( cal.)2003
PER CURIAM
Chateau des Charrnes Wines, Ltd. (" Chateau des Charmes"), a Canadian company, appeals the dismissal of its action for breach of contract and related claims arising out of its purchase of wine corks fromSabate,S.A.(" Sabat6 France" ), a French company, and Sabat6 USA, Inc. (" Sabat6 USA"), a wholly owned Californiasubsidiary. The district court held that forum selection clauses in the invoices that Sabate France sent to Chateau des Charmes were part of the contract between the parties and dismissed the case in favor of adjudication inFrance. Because we conclude that the forum selection clauses in question were not part of any agreement between the parties, we reverse.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
The material facts pertinent to this appeal are not disputed. Sabat6 France manufactures and sells special wine corks that it claims will not cause wines to be spoiled by "cork taint", a distasteful flavor that some corks produce. It sells these corks through a wholly ownedCaliforniasubsidiary, Sabat6 USA.
In February 2000, after some preliminary discussions about the characteristics of Sabat6's corks, Chateau des Charmes, a winery from Ontario, Canada, agreed by telephone with Sabat6 USA to purchase a certain number of corks at a specific price.
The parties agreed on payment and shipping terms. No other terms were discussed, nor did the parties have any history of prior dealings, Later that year, Chateau des Charmes placed a second telephone order for corks on the same terms. In total, Chateau des Charmes ordered 1.2 million corks.
SabateFranceshipped the corks toCanadain eleven shipments. For each shipment, Sabat6 France also sent an invoice. Some of the invoices arrived before the shipments, some with the shipments, and some after the shipments. On the face of each invoice was a paragraph in French that specified that "Any dispute arising under the present contract is under the sole jurisdiction of the Court of Commerce of the City ofPerpignan". On the back of each invoice a number of provisions were printed in French, including a clause that specified that "any disputes arising out of this agreement shall be brought before the court with jurisdiction to try the matter in the judicial district where Seller's registered office is located." Chateau des Charmes duly took delivery and paid for each shipment of corks. The corks were then used to bottle Chateau des Charmes' wines.

At first, the oral agreements between Sabate USA and Chateau des Charmes as to the kind of cork, the quantity, and the price were sufficient to create complete and binding contracts. The terms of those agreements did not include any forum selection clause.
Next, the Convention clearly states that a "contract may be modified or terminated by the mere agreement of the parties. And also, " additional or different terms relating, .....to the settlement of disputes are considered to alter the terms of the offer materially." There is no indication that Chateau des Charmes conducted itself in a manner that evidenced any affirmative assent to the forum selection clauses in the invoices. Rather, Chateau des Charmes merely performed its obligations under the oral contract. So, a party's attempts to alter an agreement unilaterally do no so effect.
