Zapata, a Texas Corporation, entered into a contract with Unterweser, a German corporation, to tow Zapata's drilling rig from Louisiana to Italy. A storm arose and Zapata told Unterweser to tow the rig into Tampa, Florida. Zapata immediately filed a lawsuit in Florida against Unterweser for damages to the rig. The original contract called for Any dispute must be heard before the London Court of Justice. The U.S. Supreme Court held that:
 A) Florida has jurisdiction since that is where the oil rig is now located.
 B) the case should be heard in Texas or Germany because that is where the parties are located.
 C) the forum-selection clause is contrary to public policy and will not be enforced; either Florida, Texas, or Germany would be the correct place to hear it.
 D) the parties must adhere to the forum-selection clause and have the case heard in London.
