If you create an account with Noqter, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
2. Orders & Custom Furniture
Noqter specializes in handcrafted, custom furniture. Please review these terms carefully as they contain important information about our ordering process.
2.1 Order Process
All orders begin with a design consultation (in-person or virtual) where we discuss your requirements. After consultation, we provide a detailed quote including specifications, materials, and timeline.

For custom pieces, we require:
- A 50% deposit upon approval of final design
- Written confirmation of all specifications
- Approval of material samples when applicable

Changes to custom orders may incur additional fees if production has begun. Cancellations after production starts will result in forfeiture of deposit, as materials are specially sourced and work is custom.

Our prices reflect the quality of materials and craftsmanship. Prices are subject to change without notice until an order is confirmed with deposit.
3.2 Payment Methods
We accept all major credit cards, bank transfers, and UPI payments. Full payment is required before delivery unless special arrangements are made.
3.3 Taxes
All prices are exclusive of applicable taxes, which will be calculated at checkout based on your delivery location.
4. Delivery & Installation
4.1 Delivery Timeline
Standard production time is 8-12 weeks from deposit receipt. Complex custom pieces may require longer. We provide estimated timelines but cannot guarantee exact delivery dates due to the handmade nature of our products.
