The Customer may not vary or cancel a Purchase Order without DMI Industries’ prior written consent.
-
If the Customer requests and DMI Industries agrees to vary or cancel the Purchase Order, the Customer will indemnify and keep indemnified DMI Industries against any loss, damage and expense incurred by DMI Industries arising from or relating to the variation or cancellation of that Purchase Order, including but not limited to the cost of return freight, return shipping to factory of origin, items purchased from third parties for inclusion in the Goods and all labour and engineering costs incurred by DMI Industries in the manufacture or part manufacture of the Goods and including compensation payable to any of DMI Industries’ suppliers and loss of profit.
6. Delivery, Storage and Use
-
Unless stated otherwise in the Quotation, all delivery or consignment dates are estimates only and DMI Industries is not bound to meet such dates and will not be liable to the Customer if the Goods are not delivered by any such dates for any reason whatsoever.
-
DMI Industries is deemed to have delivered the Goods pursuant to the Agreement when the Goods are delivered or made available to the Customer for physical collection at the Customer’s nominated delivery address.

DMI Industries may deliver the Goods by instalments (where, in DMI Industries’ opinion, this is reasonable,) and issue interim invoices to the Customer.

-
If the Customer is unable to collect the Goods at the Customer’s nominated delivery point on the agreed delivery day, DMI Industries may at its option and without limiting its other rights and remedies arrange suitable storage of the Goods, whether at its premises or elsewhere, and the Customer must pay or reimburse all costs and expenses of storage, insurance, demurrage, handling and other charges associated with such storage. Notwithstanding the Customer’s inability to collect the Goods, delivery will be deemed to have occurred.
-
The Customer acknowledges that it has the sole responsibility to satisfy itself about the suitability of the Goods for the intended purpose and that DMI Industries makes no representation or warranty in this regard.
