Answer 1

Answer: A company maintains a website that provides information about its products and that provides an address or number that a customer can contact to obtain an order form to purchase products directly from the company.

Step-by-step explanation:

With different states having varying laws but yet still sharing a lot of business interests, it is important that the states know when they can have jurisdiction over a person.

Minimum contacts is the solution and is used to determine whether an entity has sufficient contacts in a state to warrant jurisdiction over them.

Simply having a website that can be accessed by people in a state does not fall under the provisions required for minimum contact to be met so the courts in this state cannot have personal jurisdiction over this company.
