{¶ 1} In this appeal, we are asked to determine whether a forum-selection clause that does not name a specific jurisdiction is valid and enforceable.
{¶ 2} Appellants are 12 out-of-state commercial entities that entered into lease agreements for telecommunications equipment with NorVergence, Inc., a New Jersey corporation. The lease agreements signed by appellants were virtually identical. The leases required appellants to make payments for 60 months and included a forum-selection clause stating: “This agreement shall be governed by * * * the laws of the State in which Rentor’s principal offices are located or, if this Lease is assigned by Rentor, the State in which the assignees’ principal offices are located * * * and all legal actions relating to this Lease shall be venued exclusively in a state or federal court located within that State * * *.” At the time the leases were entered into, NorVergence’s principal office was located in New Jersey.
{¶ 3} On September 30, 2003, before appellants signed the leases, NorVergence executed a Master Program Agreement with appellee, Preferred Capital, Inc. This agreement allowed NorVergence “from time to time” to assign its interest in these lease agreements to Preferred Capital. Preferred Capital’s principal offices are in Ohio.
*431{¶ 4} NorVergence assigned its interest in the appellants’ lease payments to Preferred Capital — in most cases the day after the leases were executed. Averring that NorVergence had failed to provide the savings promised, the appellants stopped making their lease payments. NorVergence subsequently filed for bankruptcy protection and was later found to have violated the Federal Trade Commission Act. Fed. Trade Comm. v. NorVergence, Inc. (July 22, 2005), N.J. No. 04-5414, 2005 WL 3754864.
{¶ 5} Preferred Capital sued each of the appellants separately in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas. The trial court sustained appellants’ individually filed Civ.R. 12(B)(2) motions to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction. On appeal, the court of appeals consolidated the cases and reversed the judgments, holding that the forum-selection clauses were valid and enforceable; we accepted appellants’ discretionary appeal.
{¶ 6} We begin our analysis by reiterating our previous holding that “the requirement that a court have personal jurisdiction over a party is a waivable right and there are a variety of legal arrangements whereby litigants may consent to the personal jurisdiction of a particular court system. Moreover, in the light of present-day commercial realities, it has been stated that a forum selection clause in a commercial contract should control, absent a strong showing that it should be set aside.” Kennecorp Mtge. Brokers, Inc. v. Country Club Convalescent Hosp., Inc. (1993), 66 Ohio St.3d 173, 175, 610 N.E.2d 987, citing The Bremen v. Zapata Off-Shore Co. (1972), 407 U.S. 1, 92 S.Ct. 1907, 32 L.Ed.2d 513.
{¶ 7} In Kennecorp, we adopted a three-pronged test, similar to the test in Bremen, to determine the validity of a forum-selection clause: (1) Are both parties to the contract commercial entities? (2) Is there evidence of fraud or overreaching? (3) Would enforcement of the clause be unreasonable and unjust? Kennecorp, 66 Ohio St.3d 173, 610 N.E.2d 987, syllabus. In Kennecorp, a specific forum, Ohio, was specified in the clause. Here, the facts are slightly different. Rather than specifying a named forum, such as Ohio or New Jersey, the clause allows for the forum to change depending on the state in which the headquarters of the entity that holds the interest in the lease payments are located. This type of forum-selection clause has been called a “floating forum clause.” While this distinction is important in the application of the test, we conclude that the rule set forth in Kennecorp still applies. We next apply the test to the facts of this case.
Commercial Nature of the Contract
{¶ 8} “Commercial forum-selection clauses between for-profit business entities are prima facie valid. * * * By contrast, in Ohio, forum-selection clauses are less readily enforceable against consumers.” Information Leasing Corp. v. Jaskot, 151 Ohio App.3d 546, 2003-Ohio-566, 784 N.E.2d 1192, ¶ 13. Appellants argue *432that they are “mom and pop” or small businesses and should not be considered sophisticated commercial entities. We reject that argument. First, there is nothing in the record to suggest that all appellants are indeed small businesses; moreover, appellants’ suggestion that they are small businesses or sole proprietorships is not material. The contracts are commercial in nature between two for-profit entities. “Unlike a consumer who enters into a contract with a commercial entity, [a sole proprietor] is presumed to have some experience in contractual and business matters.” Id. at ¶ 14. As we articulated in Kennecorp, forum-selection clauses should be distinguished between commercial and noncommercial parties. If both parties are for-profit, commercial entities, the relative size or sophistication of the parties is not a material factor.
Fraud or Overreaching
{¶ 9} There is no evidence of fraud or overreaching in this case. While appellants do allege that NorVergence intended to defraud them, there is no evidence that appellants agreed to the forum-selection clause as a result of fraud. The clause was clearly and legibly printed on the second page of a two-page contract. No effort was made to conceal or hide the clause. In fact, printed in large type and in all capitals directly above the signature line of the guaranty on the front page is the sentence “You agree to jurisdiction and venue as stated in the paragraph titled Applicable Law of the rental [agreement].” Additionally, there is a valid business reason for including a floating forum clause in a contract. Appellee and its amici point out that a floating forum clause makes it easier for the lessor to sell his interest in the lease payments to a finance company. We therefore conclude that there is an absence of fraud and overreaching by NorVergence in relation to the forum-selection clause.
Unreasonable or Unjust
{¶ 10} The final question to be answered under Kennecorp is whether enforcing the clause would be unreasonable and unjust. We begin our analysis by reiterating the long-held principle that parties to contracts are presumed to have read and understood them and that a signatory is bound by a contract that he or she willingly signed. Haller v. Borror Corp. (1990), 50 Ohio St.3d 10, 14, 552 N.E.2d 207; DeCamp v. Hamma (1876), 29 Ohio St. 467, 471-472.
{¶ 11} Appellants aver that litigating in Ohio would be burdensome because they are out-of-state entities. However, none of the appellants have offices in New Jersey, which is where the contract would have been litigated had NorVergence not assigned its interest. We are not persuaded that litigating a claim in Ohio would be any more burdensome for appellants than litigating a claim in New Jersey or that requiring the parties to litigate in Ohio would deprive them of *433their day in court. Presumably, for some appellants, litigating a dispute in Ohio would be less onerous than litigating in New Jersey.1
{¶ 12} Although it does not appear in this case that enforcing the floating forum clause would deprive any appellant of its day in court, we hold that the clause is unreasonable because even a careful reading of the clause by a signatory would not answer the question of where he may be forced to defend or assert his contractual rights. At the time the contract was entered into, the appropriate forum would have been New Jersey; the very next day, in most cases, the lease was assigned to Preferred Capital and the appropriate forum became Ohio. Nothing prevented Preferred Capital from assigning its interest and changing the forum yet again. It is one thing for a contract to include a waiver of personal jurisdiction and an agreement to litigate in a foreign jurisdiction. It is quite another to contract to litigate the same contract in any number of different jurisdictions, located virtually anywhere. Nothing in the record indicates that appellants were fully apprised of the potential for a truly floating forum. The record indicates that NorVergence knew that it intended to assign these leases and that no matter how carefully appellants read the contract, they could never have anticipated the appropriate forum for litigating issues relating to their leases.
{¶ 13} Preferred Capital and NorVergence had superior information. Before the leases were signed, NorVergence had entered into the Master Program Agreement with Preferred Capital. NorVergence knew that it would likely assign its interest in appellants’ leases to Preferred Capital or some other entity, but withheld that information from appellants.
{¶ 14} Presumably, Preferred Capital reviewed the leases before it accepted assignment. Preferred Capital was in a better position than appellants to evaluate the risk and costs of litigating in a foreign jurisdiction. Based upon the strong public policy of not haling individuals into foreign jurisdictions without their knowing waiver, and the superior knowledge and position of NorVergence and Preferred Capital in comparison to appellants, we hold this forum-selection clause unreasonable, and it would be unjust to enforce it.
{¶ 15} In a contract between two commercial entities, a forum-selection clause with no reference to a specific jurisdiction or jurisdictions is valid absent a finding of fraud or overreaching or a finding that enforcement of the clause would be unreasonable and unjust. A forum-selection clause may be held to be unreasonable if it would be against public policy to enforce it.
{¶ 16} We hold that when one party to a contract containing a floating forum-selection clause possesses undisclosed information of its intent to assign its *434interest in the contract almost immediately to a company in a foreign jurisdiction, the forum-selection clause is unreasonable and against public policy absent a clear showing that the second party knowingly waived personal jurisdiction and assented to litigate in any forum. The judgment of the court of appeals is reversed.
Judgment reversed.
