    Kennedy Associates, Respondent, v JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., Appellant.
    [20 NYS3d 70]
   Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Ellen M. Coin, J.), entered June 19, 2014, which denied defendant’s motion for summary judgment dismissing the breach of contract cause of action (the only remaining cause of action in the complaint), unanimously reversed, on the law, without costs, and the motion granted. The Clerk is directed to enter judgment dismissing the complaint.

The contract between the parties clearly required a written assignment document containing certain information provided by defendant, in order for plaintiff to be paid for its recruiting services. The contract also noted that defendant reserved the right to hire candidates based on unsolicited résumés without paying plaintiff a fee. Where, as here, the parties set down their agreement in a clear, complete document, their writing should be enforced according to its terms (see W.W.W. Assoc. v Giancontieri, 77 NY2d 157, 162 [1990]).

Plaintiff failed to present evidence of a written document from defendant authorizing it to seek candidates for a position in defendant’s Hong Kong office. We reject plaintiff’s contention that defendant waived the writing requirement because, on other occasions, it had paid plaintiff placement fees despite the lack of a formal, written assignment document. The contract contained a provision repudiating unwritten waivers of its requirements. In addition, where, as here, a contract is clear on its face, there is no need to resort to the parties’ course of conduct in order to determine their intent (see Ninth St. Assoc. v 20 E. Ninth Corp., 114 AD3d 518, 519 [1st Dept 2014]). Moreover, plaintiff failed to present sufficient evidence showing that, after the effective date of the contract, defendant paid plaintiff for placements that occurred without a written assignment document.

We have considered plaintiff’s remaining arguments and find them unavailing. Concur — Mazzarelli, J.P., Renwick, Moskowitz and Richter, JJ.
