PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Global Satellite Commc'n Co. v. Sudline, 849 So. 2d 466, 469 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003) ("[T]he failure to pay money in Florida, standing alone, would not suffice to obtain jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant. But, where a requirement to pay money in Florida has been coupled with a Florida venue selection clause in a contract, courts have held that the nonresident defendant should reasonably expect to be haled into court in Florida." (citations omitted)); Itel-Pas, Inc. v. Jones, 389 So. 2d 1085, 1086 (Fla. 3d DCA 1980) (holding that when agreement "is silent as to the place of payment," "[t]he law then implies that payment is to be made where the payee resides or has an established place of business and where payment under the contract may be made").
