Tosa Tool Guarantee on CNC Services
- You will receive a contract. If your request for aid is accepted (our scheduling policy dictates workload) and it is not a pay by the hour service, you will receive a quotation in the form of a PDF file that will state exactly what we will accomplish, the price for these services, and the date they will be completed by us. This is our contract with you.
- Your Project will be on time. We understand that you have deadlines and when you hire us it is because you need things done in a timely manner. If for some reason we are late, you can expect us to refund part of your monies depending on the severity of the situation.
- The Price We Quote Is the Price You Pay. We have the experience to make a detailed quote. We will not raise that price unless you change your requirements. You will always have a agreement in place.
- Your Idea Stays Your Idea. On the sidebar of our services pages you will find our standard Non-Disclosure / Non Compete. It is a PDF. Download it, sign it, and return it to us if we need to keep our lips shut about your work. We understand.
- Complex Solutions Deserve Instructions. We understand you are not a tool and die maker with 30 years of experience. That’s why you are here. When we build you a complex solution we will send you a instruction PDF along with it. Everytime. Usually your quotation will include several hours of on the phone or web-cam help as well.
- Quality Control. We have a QC department. If you have a complaint we will address it.

Customer Responsibilities
- Please give us all the information as soon as possible. We need to know up front how difficult it is going to be to manufacture your idea before giving you a quotation. Resist the urge to “hide the hard parts” until you get the quotation, so you can get a better price on the solution. Under our current ethics code new information will demand a new quote and new deadline.
- Understand our payment policy. For quoted work we ask for 60% upfront. The balance before we ship. This is for our customers as well as us. We offer convenient credit card payments and easy secure online transactions. We are a small business that invests in people and innovation. We aren’t bill collectors, nor do we want to be.
- Please make necessary requests. If the quotation states “we will revise your program 5 times at your request” only request changes if they are necessary, not just because you are “getting your monies worth”. We try to keep pricing as low as possible for our customers. Making these solutions is time consuming and costly.
- Email is the best form of communication. Please try to resist calling Tosa Tool and making adjustments and requests. If you email us we have a immediate “paper trail” for your request.
- Use business hours. We like to go home too! If you need late hours or weekend hours because you are restricted in some way, let us know beforehand so we can schedule it in.
- Attitude is everything. It really is. Tosa Tool is a “Go Positive” organization. Much of our business is technically difficult, we use good manners and a “cup is half full” approach whenever possible. Please follow format when you can. It is contagious.
