2. “Although a determination of whether the required minimum contacts are present necessarily hinges upon the facts of each case, there are several factors a trial court typically evaluates in determining whether the required level of contacts exists: (1) quantity of the contacts between the defendant and the forum state, (2) quality and nature of the contacts, (3) the source and connection of the cause of action to the contacts, (4) the interest in the forum state, and (5) convenience of the parties.”

3. “"The determination of whether jurisdiction is statutorily and constitutionally permissible due to contact with the forum is a question of fact." To resolve a question of personal jurisdiction, the court must engage in a two step analysis. First, the court must determine if the North Carolina long-arm statute's ( N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-75.4 ) requirements are met. If so, the court must then determine whether such an exercise of jurisdiction comports with due process.”
