OPINION
ORDER
The captioned case is before the court for consideration of defendant's motion to dismiss
for lack of personal jurisdiction [4-11.
I. Background
This is a breach of contract claim arising out of an employment agreement between
plaintiff and defendant. Defendant, a Delaware corporation with its principal place of
business in Virginia, manufactures parts for chairs and architectural columns through its
two subsidiaries, Coffman Stairs and Crown Columns. Defendant hired plaintiff as a
regional sales manager for Coffman Stairs in 2005 to increase sales in the southeast. (Ex.
A to Pl.'s Resp. 1). At all times during his employment, plaintiff resided in Georgia.
On November 16, 2006, defendant terminated plaintiffs employment due to company
downsizing. Plaintiff asserts that he is owed a substantial severance package under the
employment agreement. After 2] defendant contested the validity of the agreement,
plaintiff brought this breach of contract claim, which defendant moved to dismiss on
September 7, 2007 for lack of personal jurisdiction [4-1).

2008 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 129842, *
The plaintiff has the initial burden of establishing a prima facie case of personal jurisdiction
over a nonresident defendant. Meier v. Sun Intern, Hotels, Ltd., 288 F.3d 1264, 1268.69
(11th Cir. 2002). "A prima fade case is established if the plaintiff presents enough
evidence to withstand a motion for directed verdict." Id. at 1269 (quoting Madara v. Hall,
916 F.2d 1510, 1514 (11th Cir. 1990)). If the defendant challenges the facts alleged in the
complaint and submits affidavits to the contrary, the burden traditionally shifts back to the
plaintiff to produce evidence supporting jurisdiction. Meier, 288 F.3d at 1269; Posner v.
Essex Ins. Co., Ltd., 178 F.3d 1209, 1215 (11th Cir. 1999). If the plaintiffs complaint and
supporting evidence conflict with the defendant's affidavits, the court must construe all
reasonable inferences in favor of the plaintiff. Meier, 288 F.3d at 1269; Madara, 916 F.2d
at 1514.
A federal court must have both statutory and constitutional authority to assert jurisdiction
over a nonresident defendant. See McGee v. International Life Ins. Co., 355 U.S. 220. 223,
78 S. Ct. 199, 2 L. Ed. 2d 223 (1957). In analyzing whether personal jurisdiction exists, the
court must first determine whether a defendant is subject to jurisdiction under Georgia's
long-arm statute. If so, the court must then determine if an assertion [*3] of jurisdiction
would be constitutional. See Madara, 916 F.2d at 1514.
The Georgia Long-Arm Statute provides, in relevant part:
A court of this state may exercise personal jurisdiction over any nonresident or his executor or administrator as to a
cause of action arising from any of the acts, omissions, ownership, use, or possession enumerated in this Code
section. in the same manner as if he were a resident of the state. if in person or through an agent, he:
(1) Transacts any business withn this state:
O.C.G.A. § 9-10-91 (2007). The long-arm statute confers personal jurisdiction to the full
extent permitted by the Due Process Clause. Innovative Clinical & Consulting Servs., LLC
v. First Nat'l Bank, 279 Ga. 672, 620 S.E.2d 352, 355 (Ga. 2005) (construing the first and
second sections of the statute as reaching to the maximum extent permitted by procedural
due process). The court, therefore, may bypass statutory analysis and proceed directly to
an evaluation of whether exercising personal jurisdiction over defendant is consistent with
the Due Process Clause. See Datacom Warranty Corp. v. The Phone Connection of
Kansas, Inc., No.06-1835, 2006 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 76622, at *5 (N.D. Ga. Oct. 20, 2006)
("[I]t is permissible for courts to pass over an analysis of the long arm statute and exercise
personal jurisdiction if the constitutional requirements are satisfied."). See also Peridyne
Technology Solutions, LLC v. Matheson Fast Freight, Inc., 117 F. Supp. 2d 1366, 1369
(N.D. Ga. 2000).
"The Due Process Clause protects an individual's liberty interest in not being subject to the
binding judgments of a forum with which he has established N] no meaningful 'contacts,
ties, or relations."' Burger King Corp. v. Rudzewicz, 471 U.S. 462, 471-72, 105 S. Ct. 2174,
85 L. Ed. 2d 528 (1985) (quoting International Shoe Co. v. Washington, 326 U.S. 310, 319,
66 S. Ct. 154, 90 L. Ed. 95 (1945)). Due process contemplates two types of personal
jurisdiction: general jurisdiction and specific jurisdiction. Helicopteros Nacionales de
Colombia, S.A. v. Hall, 466 U.S. 408, 414, 104 S. Ct. 1868, 80 L. Ed. 2d 404 (1984). For

substantial, showing continuous and systematic contacts between the defendant and the
forum state. Meier, 288 F.3d at 1274 (11th Cir. 2002). Specific jurisdiction exists when
defendant's contacts with the forum: (1) are related to the cause of action; (2) involve
some act by which the defendant purposefully availed itself of the benefits of the forum;
and (3) are such that the defendant should reasonably anticipate being sued in the forum
state. Francosteel Corp. v. MN Charm, 19 F.3d 624, 627 (11th Cir. 2007). "The availability
of specific jurisdiction depends on the relationship among the defendant, the forum, and
the litigation." Borg-Warner Acceptance Corp. v. Lovett & Tharpe, Inc., 786 F.2d 1055,
1057 (11th Cir. 1986).
Defendant contends it lacks sufficient minimum contacts to warrant personal jurisdiction in
the state of Georgia. Defendant is not registered to do business in Georgia and does not
maintain an office, telephone listing, mailing address, or business location in Georgia.
(Def.'s Mot. Dismiss 2). Defendant sells its products only to authorized dealers and
distributors, who then sell the products to consumers. ["5] (Id. at 3). Though it concedes
some of those dealers and distributors are located in Georgia, defendant maintains that its
sale to those agents merely places their products into the stream of commerce. (Id. at 14).
Moreover, defendant argues that, even if valid, the employment contract with plaintiff is
insufficient to establish specific jurisdiction.
The court finds that defendant established minimum contacts with Georgia sufficient to
support specific personal jurisdiction. This claim arises out of a breach of an employment
contract allegedly entered into between the parties. The contract provides that plaintiff
serve as defendant's regional sales manager, and plaintiff states that the purpose of his
employment was to increase defendant's sales in Georgia and other southeastern states.'
(Ex. A to Pl.'s Resp. 1). The contract, therefore, was to be performed, at least in part,
within Georgia. At all times during his employment, plaintiff resided in Georgia. (Id.) As
regional sales manager, plaintiff contacted defendant's customers, and defendant paid
plaintiffs salary for the performance of his duties. (Ex. B to Def.'s Mot. Dismiss 3).
Nonetheless, defendant now argues that it did not "voluntarily accept 6] the . . . ["
employment contract." (Def.'s Mot. Dismiss 19). Given the almost two-year professional
relationship between the parties, the court finds defendant's attempts to distance itself
from the contract unpersuasive.
1 The court notes that the parties hotly contest the validity of the employment agreement. In evaluating defendant's motion to
dismiss. however, the court must construe all inferences in favor of plaintiff. Meier, 286 F.3d at 1269, Madam, 916 F.2d at 1514.
Defendant maintains it could not have anticipated plaintiffs Georgia residence because the
employment agreement required him to relocate to Virginia. Under a section entitled
"Compensation and Benefits," the employment agreement provides that defendant "shall
reimburse [plaintiff] for the reasonable costs and expense . . . incurred . . in relocating to
the location of [defendant's] headquarters." (Ex. A to Pl.'s Compl. 2). No other language in
the contract, however, mandates that plaintiff move to Marion, Virginia, and plaintiff states
defendant never asked him to relocate. (Ex. A to Pl.'s Resp. 2). The court finds that this
ambiguous contractual provision does not mitigate defendant's contacts with Georgia.

Defendant also argues that the choice of law provision contained in the employment
agreement indicates that defendant did not purposely avail itself of Georgia jurisdiction.
"While by no means dispositive, a choice of law provision in a contract between the
litigants rn is a factor in deciding . . . whether the parties intended to invoke the benefits
and protections of a particular state." Allegiant Physicians Servs. v. Sturdy Mem'l Hosp.,
926 F. Supp. 1106, 1116 (N.D. Ga. 1996). In its arguments, defendant repeatedly
emphasizes its ties to Virginia and even construes the employment agreement as requiring
that plaintiff relocate to its headquarters in Marion, Virginia. The choice of law provision
contained in the contract, however, provides that North Carolina law governs the terms of
the contract. The court finds that the choice of law provision weighs against plaintiff but,
especially considering this agreement, does not preclude a finding of specific jurisdiction.
Although a contract with a non-resident alone is not always sufficient to support personal
jurisdiction, Burger King, 471 U.S. at 478-79, the employment agreement, itself, is
evidence that defendant participates in the Georgia marketplace. Defendant hired plaintiff
to increase sales with, among others, the Georgia dealers and distributors with whom it
conducts business. Defendant manufactures, markets, and sells its products to dealers
and distributors. The authorized dealers and distributors then sell defendant's products to
builders and other consumers without defendant's further knowledge or participation. raj
(Ex. A to Def.'s Mot. Dismiss 3).' Defendant, therefore, characterizes these transactions as
merely placing goods into the stream of commerce and insufficient to establish minimum
contacts. The court disagrees.
2 Defendant admits that it occasionally learns the name of the builder purchasing its product from a dealer or distributor but
states that such information is not usually available to it. (Id).
Unlike where a non-resident defendant ships a product to an independent distributor who
then controls its ultimate destination, defendant sells products to authorized Georgia
distributors and dealers who maintain store locations throughout the state. See Gold Kist,
Inc. v. Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Co., 623 F.2d 375, 382 n. 5 (5th Cir. 1980) (stating that
business is transacted when defendant's obligations or business operations have a
realistic impact on Georgia commerce). Though defendant employs independent sales
representatives, it exclusively negotiates the contracts and orders solicited by those agents
and then ships the products directly to the dealer or distributor in Georgia. (Ex. A to Def.'s
Mot. Dismiss 2). Cf. Bond v. Octagon Process, Inc.,745 F. Supp. 710, 712 (M.D. Ga. 1990)
(finding no personal jurisdiction where defendant shipped products to various government
depots, after which the government sent them where needed). Defendant derives two
percent of its total gross sales from these Georgia transactions. Defendant also sends
trainers and sales representatives to Georgia to train its dealers and distributors about 9] ['
its products and their installation. (Ex. A to Pl.'s Resp. 2) Defendant's active solicitation,
authorization, and facilitation of relationships with Georgia merchants constitute action
purposefully directed toward Georgia, and defendant should have reasonably anticipated
being haled into court here as a result of those contacts.

Additionally, defendant's website, while not sufficiently interactive to establish general
personal jurisdiction, does suggest that defendant intended to transact business in specific
state markets. As first enunciated in Zippo Mfg. Co. v. Zippo Dot Corn,
[tjhe likelihood that personal jurisdiction can be constitutionally exercised is directly proportionate to the nature and
quality of the commercial activity that an entity conducts over the Internet. This skiing scale is consistent with well
developed personal jurisdiction principles. At one end of the spectrum are situations where a defendant clearly does
business over the Internet. If the defendant enters into contracts with residents of a foreign jurisdiction that involve the
knowing and repeated transmission of computer files over the Internet. personal jurisdiction is proper. At the opposite
end are situations r10j where a defendant has simply posted information on an Internet Web site which is accessible
to users of foreign jurisdictions. A passive Web site that does little more than make information available to those who
are interested in it is not grounds for the exercise of personal jurisdiction. The middle ground is occupied by interactive
Web sites where a user can exchange information with the host computer. In these cases the exercise of jurisdiction is
determined by examining the level of interactivity and commercial nature of the exchange of information that occurs on
the Web site.
952 F. Supp. 1119, 1124 (W.D. Penn. 1997). Defendant's website falls within the "middle
ground" because although consumers cannot order its products over the website, they are
able to browse defendant's product selection, "find out more" about the company through a
request form, and locate nearby authorized dealers and distributors. See Barton Southern
Co. v. Manhole Barrier Systems, 318 F. Supp. 2d 1174, 1177 (N.D. Ga. 2004). Through its
"Dealer Locator Program," defendant promises dealers that it will "bring potential local
Coffman customers to [their] door" by allowing consumers to enter their zip codes on the
website and access a list of authorized dealers in the area. See Coffman Stairs - Dealer
Programs, http://www.coffmanstairs.com/dealer/dealer2.htm. Rather than merely rig
placing its products into the stream of commerce, defendant directs customers, including
those residing in Georgia, to its authorized local dealers and distributors.
Finally, the exercise of jurisdiction over defendant comports with traditional notions of fair
play and substantial justice. In assessing the reasonableness of a forum's assertion of
jurisdiction over a non-resident defendant, the court considers:
(1) the burden on defendant in litigating the lawsuit. (2) the forum state's interest in adjudicating the dispute; (3) the
plaintiff's interest in obtaining convenient and effective relief. (4) the interstate judicial system's interest in obtaining the
most efficient resolution of controversies: and (5) the shared interest of the states in furthering fundamental social
policies.
World-Wide Volkswagen Corp. v. Woodson, 444 U.S. 286, 292, 100 S. Ct. 559, 62 L. Ed.
2d 490 (1980). Georgia is the most convenient forum for plaintiff, who resided in Georgia
during his employment with defendant and remains a resident of this state. Georgia also
has an interest in protecting against and adjudicating contract disputes that involve, at
least partially, transactions with Georgia companies and that occur within the state.
"[O]ften the interests of the plaintiff and the ri
2] forum in the exercise of jurisdiction will
justify even the serious burdens placed on the alien defendant." Asahi Metal Industry Co.
v. Superior Court of California, 480 U.S. 102, 114, 107 S. Ct. 1026, 94 L. Ed. 2d 92 (1987).
Plaintiff has agreed to conduct depositions in Virginia or North Carolina to diminish the
inconvenience to defendant. The court, therefore, finds that defendant will not be seriously
burdened by defending this lawsuit in Georgia.
Accordingly, defendant's motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction [4-1] is hereby
DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 18th day of March, 2008.
