The fine print of your creative journey
Transparent terms for aspiring photographers. We've laid out the ground rules so you can focus on mastering your craft with peace of mind.
Terms of Service
Welcome to Olympus Optics. By accessing our digital photography courses, you're agreeing to be bound by these local New York regulations and standard educational agreements.
Haven't read these yet? You'll need to confirm these at the checkout. Don't worry, we keep it simple for our students. Our goal is clarity over legalese.
Refund Policy
We want you to love your learning experience. If our Beginner Digital Photography Course doesn't meet your expectations within the first 14 days, you're eligible for a full refund—provided you haven't completed more than 20% of the syllabus.
"Why do we have a progress limit? Because we value the 17 years of professional expertise baked into our tutorials. Fairness works both ways!"
Your Creative Rights
Who owns the photos you take during our workshops? You do. Full stop. We don't claim ownership of any student work created during the course.
However, by submitting work to our critique galleries, you grant Olympus Optics a non-exclusive license to display your imagery for educational purposes within the student community. We'll always ask permission before using your shots for marketing!
Secure Data
We protect your student records like our own high-res RAW files.
Accredited
Industry-standard certification upon completion of all modules.
Global Access
Study from New York or anywhere else in the world, 24/7.
Support
Our dedicated teaching assistants usually respond in under 4 hours.
"I was initially worried about the refund policy, but the transparency at Olympus Optics is refreshing. They treat you like a colleague, not just a customer. It's the best investment I've made in my photography career."
