You may purchase from our studio in either of two ways:
- Through your design professional - We will collaborate with your designer, architect or builder to create a beautiful environment using Nocera art tile. Please supply the name and phone number when you Contact Us and we will contact them.

An initial consultation is without charge and our creative staff can suggest options that use our tile diversity to personalize your living or work environment. After discussing your project specifics with us, we will give you a written quote for the amount of tile you specify and you may place the order after you accept the quote.

Corrections: The purchaser shall be responsible for extra costs caused by inaccurate design or ordering information.
What is the return policy?
We recognize that even the best of products sometimes need to be returned. Due to the nature of our business we have established the following policies:
- Nocera Art Tile will replace any uninstalled tile proven to be defective. Adjustments will be made on uninstalled tile only.
- Prior approval is needed and a return authorization number assigned to avoid a 30% restocking charge. Tiles must be authorized by the office for return within five business days of receiving your order. Packing instructions will be given. Tiles authorized for return must be shipped prepaid, with insurance equal to the purchase price. We must receive returned merchandise in new, unused and undamaged condition in order for a replacement or refund to be issued.
- Returning goods are damaged in transit to us: No refunds will be made by us. We will notify the purchaser and the shipper, but it is the responsibility of the sender to collect recompense from the shipper's insurer.
- Ancient Stone Fresco paintings in original condition may be returned under the above stipulations. In addition, a 5% restocking charge and outbound shipping apply to returns for the following reasons:
- you do not like the color or the picture, or the size is incompatible with the intended area
- you return the merchandise without prior approval
- you refused delivery
- Tile damaged in transit to you: If the carton has external damages, you will need to note this on the delivery receipt. This does not always mean there is damage to the contents, however, it will simplify a claim if damage is discovered upon opening the carton. You must notify the carrier of damages immediately. They will direct how the claim will be handled. You must also notify our office within 48 hours of the receipt of damaged merchandise. We will make arrangements with you to return damaged pieces and to send replacement pieces.
- Custom hand made tile, special order tile, custom murals and samples cannot be returned.
Is there a warranty?
Nocera Art Tile has no control over tile once it is installed. Therefore, Nocera Art Tile is not responsible for damage to installed tile that may be caused by, but is not limited to, materials and methods used to install our tile, type of use, amount of traffic, or type of maintenance.
Discontinued items: We reserve the right to withdraw a product design without notice. We reserve the right to discontinue a glaze without notice. We will offer a replacement color, if feasible. In rare instances, we have to discontinue a color because raw materials as they come from the earth may become mined out. This is because the same mineral coming from another mine may differ and could change glaze results.
