Here’s an interesting online case between Toys R Us.com and Amazon.com:

After a lengthy trial, the Court found that defendant Amazon.com had breached an agreement it had entered into with plaintiff ToysRUs.com LLC (”Toys R Us”), by permitting third parties to sell toys on Amazon’s web site.  Finding that this breach went to the substance of the parties’ agreement - which as interpreted by the Court provided that Toys R Us was to be the sole third party toy retailer on Amazon’s web site - the Court granted Toys R Us’s request that the agreement be terminated.  Notwithstanding its finding that such a breach had occurred, the Court did not award Toys R Us damages.  The Court also rejected counterclaims asserted by Amazon, arising out of Toys R Us’s alleged failure to maintain levels of inventory sufficient to meet customer demand.
