Best Answer

'At its discretion' is right usage, but in the same sentence first you have used the pronoun 'it' for 'Company A' and later on you have used the pronoun 'they', which doesn't seem correct. People may argue that in this case 'they' is singular pronoun, however, I think that from consistency point of view it's not advisable to use two different pronouns for the same thing in one sentence.

The word 'harms' is perfectly OK, too, because 'Company A' is singular.
