OPINION

KEM THOMPSON FROST, Justice.

In this restricted appeal, appellant, Ma-bon Limited challenges the default judgment entered in favor of Afri-Carib Enterprises, Inc. on a breach of contract claim. Mabon asserts the trial court erred in entering the default judgment because (1) the contract contained an enforceable forum selection clause and an arbitration clause, (2) the contract was not binding or enforceable, and (3) the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to support the award of damages and the award of attorney’s fees. We affirm the judgment of the trial court, as modified.
