you can't say "on" their own expense and you can't say "at" their own responsibility. Therefore the most correct and elegant way to say it is as I have suggested.

Explanation:
Leave out the first part altogether - we don't use it in English.

In your case, if the Forniture is an individual, then use "his" or "her"; if it's a company, use "its."
