REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION1 THAT: (1) DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO DISMISS (DOC. 18) BE GRANTED; AND (2) THIS CASE BE TERMINATED ON THE COURT’S DOCKET
This civil case is before the Court on a motion to dismiss filed by Defendant Ven-*1025tramex S.A. de C.V. (“Ventramex”), a Mexican corporation, for failure to state á claim. Doc. 18. Plaintiff Fordham Financial Services, Inc. (“Fordham”), an Illinois corporation, filed a memorandum in opposition and Ventramex filed a reply memorandum. Docs. 23, 25. The Court has carefully, considered each of these documents and Ventramex’s motion is ripe for decision.
I.
The factual underpinnings of Fordham’s complaint begin with a vendor relationship between Moraine Molded Plastics (“Moraine”) and Deuer Manufacturing (“Deuer”)—each Ohio corporations— wherein Moraine would “supply Deuer with plastic parts related to the auto industry.” Doc. 1 at PagelD 2. The agreement provided that Deuer would request purchase orders from Moraine, “Moraine would supply the' parts ... [and] issue an invoice ... for payment,” and Deuer would submit payments to Moraine. Id. at Pa-gelD 2-3.
On December 4, 2003, “Moraine sold , its receivables to Fordham under a factoring agreement.” Doc. 1 at PagelD 3; doc. 1-3 at PagelD 28-35. The factoring, agreement contemplated that Deuer would “make payments on the invoices [from Moraine] directly to Fordham[.]” Doc. 1 at PagelD 3; doc. 1-3 at PagelD 28-35. Thereafter, Deuer consistently paid Ford-ham directly. Doc. 1 at PagelD 3. On April 26, 2004, Moraine received notice2 that Deuer was “moving” to Ventramex3 in Mexico. Id. According to Fordham, Moraine was assured they would still be “dealing with the same company; only the location had .:. changed.” Id. Moreover, the notification provided that “p'ayménts from Ventramex w[ould] be made in the same timely manner as [Moraine] ha[d] come to expect from Deuer[.]” 1 Id.
On June 27, 2004, Moraine sent a copy of the Fordham factoring agreement to Ventramex along with “a cover letter reiterating its instructions that [Ventramex’s] payment on the invoices should be sent directly to Fordham[.]” Id. However, between December 9, 2004 and May 9, 2005, Ventramex issued two purchase orders4 to Moraine, received the goods from Moraine requested in the purchase orders, and submitted payment for those goods directly to Moraine instead of Fordham. Id. at Pa-gelD 4. Fordham contends that, to this day, “Ventramex has not paid Fordham for the product [Ventramex] received from Moraine[.]”5 Id. :
On August 4, 2006, Fordham sued Ven-tramex alleging .that- Ventramex “failed to pay for ... purchased goods[.]” See Fordham Fin. Servs., Inc. v. Ventramex S.A. de C.V., No. 1:06-cv-00513, 2008 WL 2796734, at *1 (S.D.Ohio July 16, 2008) (hereinafter “Ventramex /”). Ventramex filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in that case, which the 'Court denied. Id. Nevertheless, in the Order denying Ven-tramex’s motion, the Court directed Ford-*1026ham to seek a waiver of service of process. Id. Fordham, however, failed to seek the waiver of service and Ventramex renewed its motion to dismiss. Id. Ultimately, the Court—on July 16, 2008—granted Ventra-mex’s motion, dismissed the case without prejudice to refile, and awarded Ventra-mex attorney’s fees and costs., Id. at *2; see also doc. 18 at PagelD 206-07.
On June 17, 2009, Fordham again sued Ventramex in this Court. See Complaint, Fordham Fin. Servs., Inc. v. Ventramex S.A. de C.V., No. 1:06-cv-00513 (hereinafter “Ventramex II”). On February 21, 2013, the Court dismissed the case without prejudice “for lack of prosecution.” Id. at doc. 18. On August 15, 2013, Fordham filed this third lawsuit against Ventramex, again in the Southern District of Ohio. See doc. 1 (hereinafter “Ventramex III”).
II.
Á motion to dismiss filed pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P! 12(b)(6) operates to test the sufficiency of the complaint and permits dismissal for “failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.” To show grounds for relief, Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2) requires that the complaint contain a “short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to / relief.” While Fed.R.Civ.P. 8 “does not require ‘detailed factual allegations’ ... it demands more than an unadorned, the-defendant-unlawfuUy-harmed-me accusation.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009) (citing Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 167 L.Ed.2d 929 (2007)). Pleadings offering mere “ ‘labels and conclusions’ or ‘a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action will not do.’” Id. (citing Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955). In determining a motion to dismiss, “courts ‘are not bound to accept as true a legal conclusion couched as a factual allegation.’ ” Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555, 127 S.Ct. 1955 (citing Papasan v. Allain, 478 U.S. 265, 286, 106 S.Ct. 2932, 92 L.Ed.2d 209 (1986)). Further, “[flactual allegations must be enough to raise a right to relief above the speculative level.” Id.
In order “[t]o survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a claim to relief that is plausible’ on its face.’ ” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937. In addition to well-pleaded allegations in the complaint, the Court may also consider “matters of public record, orders, items appearing" in the record of the case, and exhibits attached to the complaint,” as well as documents attached to a defendant’s motion to dismiss that are important to the plaintiffs claims or if referred to in the complaint. Amini v. Oberlin College, 259 F.3d 493, 502 (6th Cir.2001) (citation omitted); Composite Tech., L.L.C. v. Inoplast Composites SA DE CV, 925 F.Supp.2d 868, 873 (S.D.Ohio 2013).
A claim is plausible where “plaintiff pleads factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference" that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678, 129 S.Ct. 1937.- Plausibility “is not akin to a ‘probability requirement,’ but it asks for more than a sheer possibility that" a defendant has acted unlawfully.” Id. “[Wjhere the well-pleaded facts do not permit the court to infer more than the mere possibility of misconduct, the complaint has alleged— but it has not ‘show[n]’—‘that the pleader is entitled to relief.’ ” Id. at 679,129 S.Ct. 1937 (alteration in original) (citing Fed. R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2))."
III.
In its motion to dismiss, Ventramex asserts that: (A) Fordham’s claims are time-barred by the applicable statute of limitations; (B) "a forum selection clause requires the dispute be litigated in Mexico; *1027and (C) this Court lacks personal jurisdiction over Ventramex. Doc. 18. In response, Fordham argues that its claims are not time-barred and fails to address or oppose Ventramex’s remaining arguments. Doc. 23 at PagelD 287-90. Because the undersigned concludes that Fordham’s claims are time-barred, Ventramex’s remaining arguments are not addressed in this Report and Recommendation.
Where this Court’s jurisdiction is based upon diversity—as it is here—the Court “must apply the procedural law, including statutes of limitations, of the forum state[.]” Mackey v. Judy’s Foods, Inc., 867 F.2d 325, 328 (6th Cir.1989). Notably, consistent with the foregoing, both parties cite Ohio law in support their statute of limitations arguments. See doc. 18 at Pa-gelD 209-11; see also doc. 23 at PagelD 287-90. Accordingly, in determining the applicable statute' of limitations and whether this action is barred thereby, the Court will apply Ohio law. See Mackey, 867 F.2d at 328.
In Ohio, the general limitations period for breach of contract claims is eight years after accrual of the cause of action. Ohio Rev.Code § 2305.06. One explicit exception to that eight year limitations period concerns breach of contract claims involving the sale of goods, which “must be commenced within four years after the cause of action has accrued.” Ohio Rev. Code § 1302.98(B); see also Wells v. Visual Sec. Concepts, Inc., No. 04-ca-118, 2005 WL 1985227, at *8 (Ohio Ct.App. Aug; 16, 2005). Here, Ventramex argues that the specific four year statute of limitations governing the salé of goods set forth in Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(B) .applies, see doc. 18 at PagelD 209, whereas Fordham asserts that the general eight year limitations period set forth in' Ohio Rev.Code § 2305.06 applies. Doc. 23 at PagelD 287. Fordham makes no argument as to why the shorter limitations period in Ohio Rev. Code § 1302.98(B) does not apply, despite specifically alleging in its complaint that the contracts breached concerned the sale of goods. See doc. 1 at PagelD 5. Because the contracts at issue here concern the sale of goods—as alleged by Fordham— absent specific argument by Fordham to the-contrary, the undersigned concludes that the four-year statute of • limitations governs. Cf. Int’l Periodical Distrib. v. Bizmart, Inc., 95 Ohio St.3d 452, 768 N.E.2d 1167, 1168-69 (Ohio 2002).
Next, the Court must determine when the cause of actions asserted by Fordham accrued. See Collins v. City of Columbus, No. 211-cv-708, 2012 WL 2458406, at *5 (S.D.Ohio June 27, 2012). “A cause of action accrues when the breach occurs, regardless of the aggrieved party’s lack of knowledge of the breach.” Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(B). Here, Moraine invoiced Ventramex between December 9, 2004, and May 9, 2005 and, pursuant to the terms of those invoices, Ventramex was required to make payment within thirty days. See doc 1 at PagelD 4; doc. 1-11 at PagelD 110. Thus, the first invoice required payment by January 8, 2005, see doc. 18-3 at PagelD 244, whereas the last invoice requited payment by June 8, 2005. Id. at PagelD 272. Construing Fordham’s allegations as true—as the Court is required to do when détermining a motion to dismiss—Fordham’s claims accrued, at the latest, on or about June 9, 2005. Accordingly, pursuant to the applicable statute of limitations set forth in Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(B), Fordham was required to file suit on or before June 9,2009. . r
Without dispute, this case (Ven-tramex III) was filed on August 15, 2013, after expiration- of the statute of limitations. See doc. 1 at PagelD 1-6. Ford-ham, however, argues that a savings provision applies to render this case timely filed following dismissal of Ventramex II on *1028February 21, 2013. Doc. 23 at PagelD 287-90. Generally, “[s]avings statutes operate to give a plaintiff a limited period of time in which to refile a dismissed claim that would otherwise be time-barred.” Int’l Periodical, 768 N.E.2d at 1168. Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(C) sets forth the savings provision applicable to contract claims involving the sale of goods.6 Id. at 1169-70 (holding that Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(C), and not the general savings provision set forth in Ohio Rev.Code § 2305.19, applies to disputes arising from contracts for the “sale of goods”). Thus, the savings provision applies where (1) the preceding suit was “filed within the time required by [the] statute of limitations”; and (2) the preceding suit is dismissed without prejudice after the “statute of limitations ... has already expired.” See. id. at 1168.
Here, the savings provision does not apply to render • Ventramex III timely filed for two reasons. First, Ventramex //—filed on June 17, 2009—was not commenced within the four year limitations period that expired on June 9, 2009.7 Second, even assuming, arguendo, that Ven-tramex II was timely filed within the original limitations period, because that case was dismissed for failure to prosecute, Fordham would not be given the benefit of the saving statute when it filed Ventramex III. See Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(C) (specifying the six month saving provision does not apply where termination of the prior action resulted “from dismissal for failure or neglect- to prosecute”). As a result, because the savings provision does not apply, Fordham’s claims in the instant case (Ventramex III) are time-barred under Ohio Rev.Code § 1302.98(B).
IV.
Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the undersigned RECOMMENDS that: (1) Defendant’s motion to dismiss (doc. 18) be GRANTED in its entirety; and (2) this case TERMINATED on the Court’s docket.
