Text: ¶ 9 The first issue to be addressed on appeal is whether the district court properly concluded that the parties' forum selection clause is enforceable. A district court's decision to enforce a forum selection cause is reviewed for abuse of discretion. Prows v. Pinpoint Retail Sys., Inc., 868 P.2d 809, 810 (Utah 1993). The court abuses its discretion in enforcing [a] forum selection clause [when the] clause is `so unreasonable that its enforcement would be . . . against both logic and the facts on the record.' Id. (quoting Personalized Mktg. Serv., Inc. v. Stotler & Co., 447 N.W.2d 447, 451 (Minn.Ct.App. 1989)). ¶ 10 Additionally, we must review the district court's denial of Teton's motion to dismiss. Because the district court did not hold an evidentiary hearing and relied only on documentary evidence, we use a correctness standard on review. See Arguello v. Indus. Woodworking Mach. Co., 838 P.2d 1120, 1121 (Utah 1992) (Where a pretrial jurisdictional decision has been made on documentary evidence only, an appeal from that decision presents only legal questions that are reviewed for correctness.).
