Before: STEVENS, DONOHUE, and MUNDY, JJ.
Opinion by: MUNDY, J.
Appellant, Autochoice Unlimited, Inc., appeals from an order entered February 4, 2010, sustaining in part Appellees’ preliminary objections and dismissing Appellant’s complaint without prejudice. Specifically, the trial court sustained Appellees’ objection to forum in Philadelphia on the basis of a forum selection clause contained in a contract between Appellant and Appellee Avangard Auto Finance, Inc. (Avangard), designating Broward County, Florida, as sole venue to resolve disputes. Because we discern no error or abuse of discretion by the trial court, we affirm.
