OPINION
MUEHLBERG, Judge. *
On appeal from the district court’s denial of their motion to dismiss, nonresident appellants argue that (1) forum-selection clauses in nondisclosure agreements did not create personal jurisdiction over either parties or nonparties to the agreements; (2) requisite minimum contacts did not exist to create specific personal jurisdiction over appellants who were former employees of respondent; and (3) the district court erred in refusing to dismiss respondent’s claims under forum non conveniens. We affirm.
