After events connected to more than one state, one party asks the court to apply a rule that changes the outcome. An out-of-state company repeatedly sold services into the forum and the lawsuit arose from those sales. The moving party relies on the parties' conduct and the practical consequences of the ruling, while the opponent emphasizes a formal limitation.

How should the court resolve the dispute? Discuss the strongest arguments for each side, state the controlling rule, apply it to the material facts, and explain the likely remedy or consequence.
