6. The Product
Tea and botanical ingredients are agricultural products. Colour, appearance, aroma and flavour may vary naturally from crop to crop and lot to lot, and samples are representative only. Artwork on the packaging and elsewhere may change from time to time. Printing errors or colour variations may occur in the text of the company catalogue, packaging, or elsewhere. Details in the catalogue are subject to change without notice.
7. Samples and Customer Use
Samples are provided for evaluation only and do not create any obligation to supply. The customer is solely responsible for determining whether the products are suitable for its intended use, including any recipe, blend or product it develops, and for the labelling and regulatory compliance of any product it makes or sells using our products.
8. Product Information and Specifications
Statements regarding composition, substances with a stipulated maximum level, and restrictions on use are based on information provided to us by our suppliers. Therefore, we assume no liability for this information with regard to its use or the use of the product by the customer. Rather, the customer is responsible for verifying the individual statements independently, if necessary by carrying out its own analyses, and for ensuring the marketability of the product, including legally compliant labelling and compliance with restrictions on use and stipulated maximum levels.
This information and these recommendations are believed to be accurate and represent the best information currently available to us. Users should make their own investigations to determine the suitability of Tea Affair products for their particular purposes. In no event shall Tea Affair be liable for any claims, losses or damages of any third party, or for lost profits or any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages, however arising, even if Tea Affair has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Allergens
Our facility handles tree nuts. Customers with allergen requirements should contact us before ordering.
10. Shipping and Pickup
Freight is prepaid for all ground shipping from Rocky View County, and all invoices include freight charges. Orders may be picked up from our facility by appointment once payment is received; no freight is charged on pickup orders.
11. Risk and Title
Risk of loss passes to the customer when goods are delivered to the carrier or picked up by the customer. Title to the goods remains with Tea Affair until payment is received in full.
12. Damages, Shortages and Quality Claims
Damage to goods and shortages must be reported to the carrier. Any other claim, including a quality claim, must be made in writing within seven (7) days of receiving the goods, with the lot number and the remaining product retained for inspection. Goods not reported within this period are deemed accepted.
13. Storage
After delivery or pickup, the customer is responsible for storing products in a cool, dry place away from strong odours, light and moisture.

Given normal production variations, a tolerance of plus or minus 15% on the quantity ordered shall be accepted by the customer.
