CASE FACTS
Plaintiff was the exclusive distributor of certain home appliances manufactured by defendant.

Defendant challenged the district court's finding that the termination was arbitrary and without cause.
HOLDING
On appeal, the court held that an arbitrary termination was permissible under both the contract and the law of Iowa.
