Quantum Research v. Fresno Cty. Office of Educ.
This is a breach of contract action in which plaintiff sued defendants for payment under a contract pursuant to which plaintiff marketed defendants’ computerized learning program to schools and school districts. Defendants cross-complained against plaintiff, asserting it failed to properly account for money it received and it sold sublicenses for the program at prices less than those called for in the contract or a valid modification of the contract. The trial court found in favor of plaintiff and awarded substantial damages. Defendants appeal, contending the trial court’s interpretation of the contract was incorrect and resulted in an unconstitutional gift of public funds to plaintiff, substantial evidence did not support the damage award, and any oral modifications of the pricing schedule for sale of the sublicenses were unenforceable because the contract required all modifications to be made in writing. We reverse the award in plaintiff’s favor on the complaint and affirm the judgment in its favor on the cross-complaint.
