Facts
Urban Outfitters contracted with DCI Solutions (DCI) to explore freight cost savings. Under the agreement, if DCI's recommendations produced actual cost savings, then DCI would receive one-third of those savings. DCI subsequently indicated that it could provide savings, but gave no specific recommendations. When Urban's employees reduced the costs on their own, DCI sought one-third of the savings. After Urban refused to pay, DCI filed a lawsuit for breach of contract and fraud.
