The contract contained the following provision: “It is distinctly understood and agreed that the services to be rendered by Manning shall meet with the approval of the Elegant Hotel, which shall be the sole judge of the sufficiency and propriety of the services.” After seven months, the hotel gave a month’s notice to discontinue services based on the failure of the services to meet its approval.
