"Seller/Company" means Pennine Tea and Coffee Company .

Singular words include the plural and vice versa and masculine includes the feminine and vice versa. Any recommendation or advice given by the seller or its employees or agents is acted upon entirely at the buyers own risk and accordingly the seller shall not be liable therefore.
