DIRECT SHIPMENT (PRIVATE LABEL) AND CO-PACKER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Dimachem Inc is a value added formulated chemical supplier and from time to time we arrange direct private label shipments of materials and/or co-packing to be performed by our Suppliers. Acceptance of our Purchase Order implies binding acceptance of the following Terms and Conditions for all direct shipments made on our behalf:

  1. SUPPLIER will not contact DIMACHEM’s customer directly unless authorized by DIMACHEM and will protect DIMACHEM’s supply arrangement.
  2. This direct ship business to a location/customer as initially generated by DIMACHEM is protected by SUPPLIER for the exclusive benefit of DIMACHEM. SUPPLIER agrees to not quote directly to DIMACHEM’s customer and commits to protecting DIMACHEM’s business giving DIMACHEM the most competitive pricing support at this end customer.
  3. SUPPLIER will follow any and all procedures provided by DIMACHEM and work with DIMACHEM to ensure all shipments are delivered on time and in good condition.
  4. Private labels are critical to our direct shipments. SUPPLIER must ensure all direct shipments are delivered with DIMACHEM labels. DIMACHEM prefers that SUPPLIER creates a private label that meets our specifications (each time a new product is set up a label ‘proof’ should be provided to DIMACHEM for acceptance). Alternately, DIMACHEM can provide SUPPLIER with a batch of labels for you to put on our product (SUPPLIER will have to advise us of your stock levels so we don’t run out or incur rush shipping/courier charges).
  5. All paperwork provided to the end customer must reflect ONLY DIMACHEM as the supplier. This includes Bill of Lading (BOL), packing slips, CofA, SDS. SUPPLIER is selling to DIMACHEM so all the normal paperwork can be sent ONLY to DIMACHEM. For the direct delivery, SUPPLIER is acting as DIMACHEM’s carrier and as such must provide to the customer ONLY DIMACHEM’s Bill of Lading (not SUPPLIER’s BOL). SUPPLIER can either do a private label template or request us to supply by email all BOL and packing slip paperwork.
  6. SUPPLIER will hold all information pertaining to this customer confidential and property of DIMACHEM and will not disclose and not use this information for any purpose other than to serve DIMACHEM .
  7. In some cases payment terms may require extension to accommodate DIMACHEM’s terms with the end customer.
  8. SUPPLIER will provide POD for each PO issued to DIMACHEM within 5 business days.
  9. Failure by SUPPLIER to follow above procedures will incur service charges to invoice payment per DIMACHEM standard terms.
