If we sell products to a restaurant...are the warranties void?
 
I think so... don't most of the cards say the warranty applies "for non-commercial use"? Check P&P on CC... should spell it out there.
 
Hmm, not sure. On CC I can only find.....

From time to time, a customer may wish to purchase a large quantity (more than 50) of a single item from our line. Or, a customer may want to purchase PC products for commercial use, such as in commercial kitchens (restaurants, institutions), as gifts to customers (real estate agents, car dealers etc.) or as marketing promotions (sweepstakes, gifts with purchase etc.). Should you encounter such an opportunity, contact Support Services for the guidelines on such orders.

Hmmm..........

Oh! I'm glad you found that...I wonder why more then 50 is a big deal though?
 
more than 50 looks suspicious, because the quantities are large enough they could be for resale.
