delivered the Opinion of the Court.
This is an appeal from an order of the district court of the thirteenth judicial district, Yellowstone County, granting summary judgment to defendants.
Plaintiff Mustang Beverage Company, Inc., hereinafter called Mustang, brought this action to recover damages from defendant Jos. Schlitz Brewing Company, hereinafter called Schlitz, resulting from the breach of, and interference with, certain alleged contractual arrangements for the distribution of brewery products manufactured by defendant Schlitz. Defendant Brad Brown was the district representative for Schlitz in the Billings area.
Plaintiff Mustang contended the remaining defendants intended to create a monopoly in the beer business in Billings. Atlas Beverages, Inc., Fred L. Briggs Distributing Company, Inc., Ace Beverage Company and Allied Distributors, Inc., were corporations holding wholesale beer licenses from the state of Montana. Peter Decker and Fred L. Briggs were two of the three officers of the Fred L. Briggs Distributing Company, Inc-, and Mustang alleged these two defendants were also officers in the Atlas Beverages, Inc. Decker, Briggs and one Carl Kemble were with the Ace Beverage Company of Miles City, Montana, and are alleged to have conspired to form Walt’s Beverages, Inc.
Mustang was a duly licensed wholesale beer distributor in the state of Montana, through a permit and license issued by the Montana State Liquor Control Board. From 1958 until July 10, 1970, Mustang was the only wholesale beer distributor who distributed Schlitz products in Yellowstone, Big Horn, Carbon, Golden Valley, Musselshell and Stillwater Counties. The distribution area also included the town of Shawmut in Wheatland County.
*246On June 4, 1958, Mustang and Schlitz entered into a written agreement entitled “Declaration of Terms” whereunder a buyer-seller relationship was established between Schlitz as brewery seller, and Mustang as wholesale buyer. The agreement carefully set out that the relationship between the parties was exclusively that of buyer and seller. The agreement could be terminated by either party at any time without cause or notice, and the buyer acknowledged that the seller had granted no franchise or exclusive territory to the buyer. Additionally, each time Mustang bought beer from Schlitz, f. o. b. Wisconsin, it ordered on a form provided by Schlitz which included the provisions from the “Declaration of Terms” as a condition of sale.
Relations between Mustang and certain personnel of Schlitz became strained. Schlitz unilaterally canceled the relationship with Mustang in a letter to it on July 10, 1970. This suit arose out of the canceled contractual relationship.
The first and essential issue on appeal is whether or not the district court erred in granting summary judgments against Mustang Beverage Company, Inc.
This Court on a number of occasions has considered the propriety of granting or denying motions for summary judgment-Rule 56(c), M.R.Civ.P., required that summary judgment be granted if:
it* * * the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, and admissions on file show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. * * *”
The burden of establishing the absence of any issue of material fact is on the party seeking summary judgment. In Roope v. Anaconda Company, 159 Mont. 28, 494 P.2d 922, 924, this Court held:
“But where, as here, the record discloses no genuine issue as to any material fact, the burden is upon the party opposing the motion to present evidence of a material and substantial nature raising a genuine issue, of fact.”
*247Again in Calkins v. Oxbow Ranch, Inc., 159 Mont. 120, 495 P.2d 1124, 1125, the Court stated:
“In discussing a motion for summary judgment in Gallatin Tr. & Sav. Bk. v. Henke, 154 Mont. 170, 172, 461 P.2d 448, 449, this Court citing from Silloway v. Jorgenson, 146 Mont. 307, 406 P.2d 167, said:
“ * * the party opposing motion [for summary judgment] must present facts in proper form — conclusions of law will not suffice; and the opposing party’s facts must be material and of a substantial nature, not fanciful, frivolous, gauzy, nor merely suspicions.’ 6 Moore’s Federal Practice 2d. § 56.15[3], pp. 2346, 2347; Hagar v. Tandy, 146 Mont. 531, 410 P.2d 447.”
See also, Hannifin v. Butte Retail Clerks Union Number 4, 162 Mont. 170, 511 P.2d 982.
From the record Mustang’s complaint does not provide any genuine issue as to any material fact and defendants were properly granted summary judgments as a matter of law.
The second issue on appeal is whether or not the district eourt erred in entering summary judgments for defendants, when the depositions of eight of the nine parties involved in this action, while before the court, had not been filed, and when the district court had no independent recollection of having examined the depositions nor of having such depositions in its possession. Counsel for all parties made extensive reference to the depositions and exhibits in their briefs in the district court, and duplicate originals of the eight depositions have now been certified by the court reporter and filed with the clerk of the district court. The original depositions and exhibits could properly be considered in support of the summary judgments even if the duplicate originals had not been filed. Failure of the eourt reporter to file the first originals in accordance with Rule 30(f), M.R.Civ.P., was at most harmless error. No motion to suppress the use of the depositions was ever made by counsel for Mustang, even though Mustang had ample time and opportunity to discover the depositions had not been filed. Also, three of the “missing” depositions were those of Mustang’s own offi*248cers. This Court finds the “missing” depositions in no way affect the district court’s ruling in regard to the summary judgments.
We present the following points as they were presented in district court, as this was the basis upon which the district court granted the summary judgments.
Under the first claim of the complaint there was no unlawful conspiracy by Schlitz with any other defendant. The controlling point on this claim is that the contract between Schlitz and Mustang specifically and clearly provided in Paragraph 5:
“* * * Buyer acknowledges that Seller has granted no franchise or exclusive territory to Buyer, and Seller may, at any time. without incurring any liability to Buyer, sell its products to others in the same trade area as Buyer. * * *”
This fully signed contract is dated May 2, 1958, and was in full force and effect until July 10, 1970, when Schlitz notified Mustang that Schlitz would no longer sell beer to Mustang-The order forms for beer as the beverage was ordered by Mustang from Schlitz also supports this position. Paragraph 5 of each order form stated the same above quoted language.
Mustang’s claim is premised upon the existence of an exclusive right to distribute Schlitz products in this market area. However, the existence of the alleged exclusive right is completely belied by the very terms of the contract upon which the Mustang and Schlitz relationship was based. The contract and order forms uniformly state:
“Buyer acknowledges that seller has granted no franchise or exclusive territory to Buyer and Seller may, at any time without incurring any liability to Buyer, sell its products to others in the same trade area as Buyer.”
Under the facts shown in this record any argument by Mustang that some type of right of exclusive distributorship existed is further precluded by the following language in Paragraph 6 of both the Declaration of Terms and order forms:
“6: NO PROMISE OR AGREEMENT HERETOFORE OR HEREAFTER MADE, AND NO WAIVER OR MODIFICA*249TION OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, SHALL BIND SELLER UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY SELLER’S PRESIDENT, VICE PRESIDENT OR SECRETARY, EXCEPTING THAT ORDERS ARE ACCEPTED BY STAMPING SELLER’S ACCEPTANCE THEREON. As an indncement for and as part consideration of Seller’s accepting any order from or making any shipment to Buyer, Buyer warrants and represents that no representation or promise inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Declaration of Terms has been made to Buyer by any officer or employee of Seller, and that Buyer has no agreement or relationship directly with Schlitz. No failure of Seller to enforce any provisions hereof in any instance or instances shall be deemed a waiver of such provision in other instances, nor can the terms hereof be altered by custom or usage. The rights of the parties respecting all transactions shall be governed by Wisconsin law.”
Under these facts, which cannot be disputed and are not disputed, there cannot be any possible right of recovery of any kind or character under any of the claims.
In addition, W. J. Schumacher, an officer of Mustang, testified in his deposition that he used these order forms in making all of his orders, and we quote:
“Q. Now I’m going to show you what has been marked as Defendants ’ Exhibit C and C-l from the deposition of Metz and ask you if you are acquainted with those forms.
“A. Those are order blanks.
“Q. Are you acquainted with them-
“A. Yes.
“Q. And C was used as an order blank before October of 1968 and C-l was used thereafter, is that right?
“A. I’m assuming so. We probably used them a long time after because they would give us two or three pads at a time and we would use them until they were finished.
“Q. Now,—
*250“A. And they were sent to you without telling you there was a difference in them.
“Q. You used one or the other of these two order forms in making all of your orders?
“A. (Nodded head in the affirmative.)
‘ ‘ Q. Will you respond verbally, please, sir.
“A. Yes.”
Schumacher further stated in his deposition that he was aware of the printed matter on the order forms:
“ Q- In using these order forms, would you sign each of them by your corporate name, Mustang Beverage Company, Inc., by you or by some person in your organization?
“A. The buyer is Mustang Beverage Company (indicating). The buyer here is by me or by a person designated by me—
“Q. Yes, sir.
“A. —and his title.
“Q. And you would sign each of these when you would make an order.
“A. Either by me or a person that was designated by me to do it.
“Q. And you were acquainted with the reverse side of these exhibits and the printed matter contained thereon, were you not ?
“A. Yery much so.
“Q. Yery much so. All right.
“A- The big print tells you what you’re going to get and the little print what they’re going to take away from you.
“Q. That would be your summary of the whole of the reverse side of C and C-l, is that right ? Is that right, sir ?
“A. Right.
“Q. And the big type on Exhibit C, for instance says, in bold type, or big type, ‘Buyer acknowledges that Seller has granted no franchise or exclusive territory to Buyer, and Seller niay, at any time without incurring any liability to Buyer, sell its products to others in the same trade area as Buyer.’ You noted that.
“A. Yes.
*251££Q. And in the big type.
££A. Yes.
“Q. Sir?
“A. Yes.”
In our view it is clear there was no contract binding upon Schlitz to continue to sell beer to Mustang nor to treat Mustang as an exclusive wholesaler.
This Court also recognizes Sinkoff Beverage Co. v. Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co., 51 Misc.2d 446, N.Y.S.2d 364, where in a similar factual situation the New York Court held that the terms of the written agreement controlled.
Mustang had no exclusive right to distribute Schlitz products and Schlitz had the right to terminate the relationship at any time without cause and without notice. Any claim of conspiracy based upon Schlitz’s exercise of that right is clearly without foundation. In McCusker v. Roberts, 152 Mont. 513, 520, 452 P.2d 408, 412, Montana law clearly holds that:
££# # * a combination of individuals for their joint benefit does not constitute a conspiracy. * * * the actionable element of conspiracy is the wrong done to the plaintiffs, not the combination of persons constituting the conspiracy.”
Mustang was not merchandising the Schlitz products or handling the distributorship to the satisfaction of Schlitz. Accordingly, Schlitz, in accordance with the contract rights, terminated the relationship with Mustang and entered into negotiations with the other defendants for distribution of Schlitz products in the Billings area.
Mustang also claims unlawful interference in the contractual rights between Mustang and Schlitz by all of the other defendants, except Schlitz. The controlling point is that Mustang was granted no exclusive right to distribute Schlitz products, and Mustang’s allegations of interference with such an alleged right of distributorship are without foundation- The Declaration of Terms and order forms conclusively establish that Schlitz had no contractual obligations to Mustang other than a buyer-seller relationship with respect to each beer purchase *252order. Therefore, there could be no unlawful interference by defendant Brad Brown nor the other defendants with the contractual relations because no such contractual relations existed.
Mustang’s third claim is for an alleged breach of contract on the part of Sehlitz. Again, we refer to the written agreements that existed between Schlitz and Mustang. These documents establish the relationship as ‘ ‘ exclusively that of buyer and seller and may be terminated by either party at any time, without cause and without notice.” "We refer to our prior comments in regard to the existence of a contract as support for the position that there was no breach of contract by Sehlitz.
The fourth and fifth claims of Mustang contend that defendants conspired with each other to monopolize the wholesale beer market in the Billings area to the damage of Mustang. Since Mustang had no exclusive right to purchase from Schlitz at wholesale, Mustang’s allegations of a conspiracy by the wholesalers is elearly irrelevant. The law on monopoly and conspiracy to monopolize is set forth in 58 C.J.S. Monopolies § 15 et seq. First, the element of an injury to the public and a power to control prices, which is not even remotely suggested or intimated here, and the power to suppress competition, which again was not even remotely contended by Mustang, must be present.
Of interest here is further testimony of Schumacher in his deposition and we quote:
“Q. Now, I want you to state what facts you have of your own knowledge of meetings between the Defendants in which they conspired to deprive Mustang of its exclusive right to distribute Sehlitz in its market area.
“MR. SHEEHY: Now, let me hear this question, please. (Question read by reporter-)
“MR. SHEEHY: I have no objection to that.
“A. Rumors is all that I get.”
There is no evidence in this record of any nature whatsoever whereby Mustang is restrained by contract or otherwise from exercising the beer distributorship business. Mustang was cancelled *253by Schlitz for deficiencies in the sale and distribution of its products.
Fundamental to all of Mustang’s allegations is the alleged injury to Mustang by depriving it of a “Schlitz dealership”. However, we find no such “dealership” ever existed. The relationship between Schlitz and Mustang was purely one of buyer and •seller. For these reasons we affirm the district court’s ruling.
MR. JUSTICES CASTLES and JOHN C. HARRISON concur. MR. JUSTICE HASWELL did not participate in this cause.
