USsuper shady company super shady company. they know what they're doing. in the age of online subscriptions and free trials, you probably expect this site to be like any other service that gives free trials and charges monthly, but boy are you wrong. if you really need a picture, just buy it for $11 each (2 images for $22) but BE CAREFUL and go into your billing and payment methods and toggle off the "auto refill" that they've sneakily opted you in on when you buy your first image pack. The next time you click that red button, you won't be taken to a checkout page, verification page, or anything you'd expect from another website or even the last time you clicked this same button on this exact website. There is no "add to cart" on shutterstock. They don't even give you the upsale option to choose the $27 3 image pack like the last time you purchased the image pack because they want nothing between that button and them getting your money. Money will be automatically deducted from your card and they are non-refundable.

GBFraudulent company Fraudulent company. I turned off the auto-renew repeatedly on my account and they turned it back on. Charged me for three months before I realised what was happening. Contacted customer service who accuse you of lying.

NOThey keep taking your money after you have cancelled, and they won't stop. It is stealing. Nice pictures are indeed available. But to cancel my subscription eventually, I had to search long to figure out how. Here is how: You take personal contact to them with an email, and then they send you back a link, when (or if) they write you back. Then you get to pay a cancellation fee. And then they keep taking more of your money every month afterwards anyway. It is illegal, and I am currently considering lawsuit. But to everyone else out there, please don't be trapped like some of us have. They are here to take the money and service regarding anything is almost non-existing, and they keep taking your money after cancellation.

GRIt is a scam It is a scam, do not give them your credit card. When you make a free trial account they start charging every month you without notification even if you do not download images. Very disappointing experience, I paid for 5 months without realising it and I had to pay a cancellation fee as well. Stay away!
