BYE, Circuit Judge.

       BVS, Inc. (BVS) sued CDW Direct, LLC (CDW) alleging breach of contract,
unjust enrichment, and fraud. The dispute arose from BVS's contract with CDW for
a computer storage area network (SAN). The district court granted summary
judgment in favor of CDW, finding no genuine dispute of material fact regarding the
contract's integration, performance, or how course of dealing affected the contract.
BVS appeals arguing the district court erred in granting summary judgment. We
reverse and remand.

                                          I

      BVS provides online training to banks and credit unions. To do so, it uses a
main computer system located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and keeps a disaster recovery
system at a separate location. As a BVS representative testified, if the system "goes
down or is unavailable, we're out of business." In late 2010, BVS sought to update
several components of its system, including its SAN. Updating the SAN would
involve an entire solution: hardware, software, implementation, testing and support.

       Prior to this, BVS had an ongoing business relationship with CDW. CDW
resells technology products and services through its internet-based retail business.
BVS purchased products and services from CDW on numerous occasions. BVS
would either place an order online, or request a quote from Amer Harb, the CDW
account manager assigned to BVS. After Harb provided a quote, BVS would either
purchase that item online, or a CDW employee would access the BVS account and
place the order.

       These transactions numbered in the hundreds. Through them, Harb developed
a relationship with BVS. When he learned that BVS was looking for a new SAN
solution, he saw an opportunity to further that relationship. However, Roy Karon,
BVS's owner, expressed doubt that CDW could deliver on such a complicated project.

       It soon became clear just how complicated the project would be. Harb brought
in a third party, Net App, Inc. (Net App), for assistance in developing the SAN
solution. Net App then arranged for another third party, Arrow Electronics, Inc.
(Arrow), to install and implement the SAN solution. During frequent and extensive
discussions, BVS told Harb of their need for a total SAN solution and that BVS was

                                         -2-
not looking to simply purchase software and hardware. Rather, BVS told Harb it
required a complete solution, fully installed and tested to ensure it met BVS's needs.
However, Harb's expertise was other than technical. For example, he had another
CDW employee ghost-write an email of technical questions. BVS did not know the
email was ghost-written at the time, and Karon testified that, had he known Harb had
sent a ghost-written email, he would have insisted on dealing with someone from
CDW with more technical competence.

       On December 3, 2010, CDW sent BVS a quote for hardware, software, and
services for the SAN solution. After receiving this quote and still doubtful CDW
could deliver, Karon called Harb directly to express his concerns. Harb explained
CDW had data center expertise; Karon took this to mean that CDW had the expertise
to deliver a SAN solution.

       BVS sent CDW a purchase order, which incorporated the quote, and listed
hardware, software, training, support services, and six "Arrow Provisioned Services."
The next day, CDW sent a purchase order to Arrow to fulfill BVS's purchase order.
Harb testified that, at this point, CDW had reached an agreement with BVS; indeed,
he testified CDW would not have sent a purchase order to Arrow without such an
agreement. One month after BVS sent its purchase order, and after the agreement was
made that Harb testified to, CDW sent BVS an invoice (Invoice).

        In addition to the items detailed in BVS's purchase order, on its back the
Invoice listed Terms and Conditions, including warranty disclaimers, statements that
the customer's "sole and exclusive remedy [is] at the sole option of the Seller" to either
have CDW reperform or to seek a refund, and further statements limiting CDW's
liability. These terms were included on documents generated by BVS's previous,
unrelated transactions with CDW. Further, the CDW web site contained disclaimers
and liability limitations and were accessible when BVS purchased through CDW's



                                           -3-
web site. The instant agreement, however, was not reached in the same manner as the
previous transactions.

      In early February 2011, the parties held a kickoff phone call to discuss and
schedule the project. Hardware and software were delivered. Installation was
ultimately scheduled to be complete by March 3, 2011. The project, however, failed.
BVS was unable to use its new SAN system. Attempts to fix problems plaguing the
system either failed or were refused, until finally, on May 19, 2011 – more than two
months after the expected completion of the project – BVS decided the system would
not be able to function properly. BVS attempted to send the hardware and software
back to CDW. CDW refused to take back the system.

       BVS brought suit against CDW, alleging breach of contract, unjust enrichment,
and fraud. In granting CDW's motion for summary judgment on these claims, the
district court found BVS's purchase order in early December constituted an offer, and
CDW accepted that offer when it sent a purchase order to Arrow. By this offer and
acceptance, the district court found a contract existed before CDW's Invoice. The
district court, however, found the parties' course of dealing supplemented the terms
of the agreement and the Invoice integrated the agreement. This finding incorporated
the Invoice's warranty disclaimers and meant CDW performed its obligations to
deliver hardware and software. BVS appealed.

                                           II

      We review a district court's interpretation of Iowa law and its decision on
summary judgment de novo, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to BVS,
the non-moving party. Cagin v. McFarland Clinic, P.C., 

, 906 (8th Cir.
2006). Summary judgment is appropriate "if the movant shows that there is no
genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to relief as a matter
of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a). "A dispute is genuine if the evidence is such that it

                                          -4-
could cause a reasonable jury to return a verdict for either party; a fact is material if
its resolution affects the outcome of the case." Amini v. City of Minneapolis, 

, 1074 (8th Cir. 2011) (citing Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 

, 248, 252 (1986)).

       We agree with the district court's finding that BVS's original purchase order
constituted an offer and that CDW accepted that offer when it sent a purchase order
to Arrow. We must then determine whether, under Iowa law, the agreement between
CDW and BVS was integrated by CDW's Invoice. We conclude the district court
erred when it ruled, as a matter of law, that the Invoice – sent after offer and
acceptance had already created a contract – integrated the contract with respect to
terms not included in either BVS's offer or CDW's acceptance.

       Under Iowa law, "[a]n agreement is fully integrated when the parties involved
adopt a writing or writings as the final and complete expression of the agreement."

(quoting Whalen v. Connelly, 

, 290 (Iowa
1996)). If a contract is fully integrated, "extrinsic evidence [may not] contradict (or
even supplement) the terms of the written agreement." 

(quoting 

). The determination of "[w]hether or not a written agreement is
integrated is a question of fact to be determined by the totality of the evidence." 

(quoting 

).

       In Cagin, because the plaintiff could not produce evidence "to suggest the
[contract] did not constitute the final expression of the parties' agreement[,]" the court
found "no facts in dispute which could lead a reasonable person to find the [contract]
was not fully 

. Here, however, the parties dispute the
particular facts of the oral agreement stemming from Harb and Karon's conversation.
Karon allegedly asked for reassurances CDW was capable of the project; Harb
allegedly assured him CDW was. Those alleged promises – part of the "totality of the
evidence" – suggest the Invoice was not the "final and complete expression of the

                                           -5-
agreement." A reasonable jury, weighing this evidence, could return a verdict for
either party.

       The district court – considering the parties' prior course of dealing as part of the
"totality of evidence" – held the parties' course of dealing supplemented the terms of
the contract. Because the Invoice came after the agreement, its terms are "proposals
for addition to the contract." Iowa Code § 554.2207. As to merchants, such
additional terms become part of the contract unless they materially alter it, i.e., come
as a surprise to the party opposing enforcement. Id.; see also All-Iowa Contracting
Co. v. Linear Dynamics, Inc., 

, 979 (N.D. Iowa 2003) (concluding
terms negating standard warranties are normally considered material alterations unless
there is no surprise to the party opposing enforcement of the terms negating the
warranties). If the course of dealing supplemented the contract, then, BVS would not
be surprised by the late inclusion of the warranty disclaimers.

       BVS argues the course of dealing between the parties was inapplicable to the
instant contract. Such consideration is properly a question of fact. See Grace Label,
Inc. v. Klif, Inc., 

, 972 (S.D. Iowa 2005) (concluding summary
judgment was inappropriate on an issue which involved the parties' course of dealing);
see also St. Ansgar Mills, Inc. v. Streit, 

, 295-96 (Iowa 2000)
(reversing a grant of summary judgment in case involving question whether a delay
in sending written confirmation of an oral contract was reasonable under the parties'
course of dealing).

       BVS and CDW did have extensive dealings with one another. The three ways
BVS normally purchased from CDW were to either (1) place an order online, (2)
request a quote from Harb for a discounted price and then purchase the item online,
or (3) request a quote from Harb and notify Harb via telephone or email of an
intention to purchase the item at that discounted price, at which point a CDW



                                           -6-
employee would access BVS's account and place the order.1 The transaction at issue
here, however, did not have any of the earmarks associated with the parties' prior
course of dealing. Their absence is strong evidence this particular transaction was
unique, and there was no intention to incorporate the warranty disclaimers included
with the Invoice. Without the course of dealing, BVS would be surprised to find
warranty disclaimers added after the agreement was reached. A finder of fact, then,
should determine whether the parties' course of dealing supplemented the instant
agreement.

      For these reasons, we find genuine issues of material fact remain as to whether
the qualitatively different nature of this particular transaction overrides any previous
course of dealing, whether the Invoice integrated the agreement, and whether Harb's
alleged assurances to Karon provided warranties to the contract. Such questions
should be addressed to the finder of fact.2



      1
        BVS moved to exclude Harb's affidavit, which detailed these previous
dealings, from the record for summary judgment, on the grounds that it was in
violation of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26. The district court denied that motion,
and BVS appeals that denial. Because we are ruling in BVS's favor in reversing the
grant of summary judgment, its motion to exclude the affidavit is moot.
      2
        Having decided a finder of fact should determine whether the parties'
agreement was incorporated by the Invoice, we recognize the finder of fact should be
asked to determine which terms were incorporated into the agreement. This fact-
finding will determine dispositive elements regarding BVS's breach of contract claim.
"Under Iowa law, '[i]n a breach-of-contract claim, the complaining party must prove:
(1) the existence of a contract; (2) the terms and conditions of the contract; (3) that it
has performed all the terms and conditions required under the contract; (4) the
defendant's breach of the contract in some particular way; and (5) that plaintiff has
suffered damages as a result of the breach.'" Cagin, 

at 906 (quoting
Molo Oil Co. v. River City Ford Truck Sales, Inc., 

, 224 (Iowa 1998))
(emphasis added). Since, under Iowa law, "[g]enerally, questions of performance or
breach are for the jury[,]" Iowa-Ill. Gas & Elec. Co. v. Black Veatch, 

,
825 (Iowa 1993), the jury needs to decide the ultimate issue of breach or performance.

                                           -7-
                                         III

       The district court improperly decided questions of fact which should be left to
a jury. We reverse the district court's grant of summary judgment3 and remand the
case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
                        ______________________________

       In granting CDW's motion for summary judgment, the district court dismissed
BVS's fraud claim. In reversing the summary judgment, we reinstate the fraud claim.
