PER CURIAM:

AND NOW, this 23rd day of January, 2015, the Petition for Allowance of Appeal is

GRANTED. The order of the Superior Court is VACATED, in light of its failure to credit

the trial court’s factual findings, which are supported by the record. See Fizzano

Brothers Concrete Products, Inc. v. XLN, Inc., 42 A.3d 951, 970-74 (Pa. 2012). The

case is REMANDED to the Superior Court for consideration of the other issues not

addressed in respondent’s original appeal. Jurisdiction relinquished.
