It 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!

Fraudulent 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.

Be careful of the hidden fees. Update: After missing the end of the free trial, I started to be charged - my own fault. However I discovered that when you then try to cancel the service a hefty cancellation fee is charged. I did contact customer service fairly robustly and initially was fobbed off. However a follow up email was dealt with well, and I was refunded not just for the cancellation fee, but for the monthly charge I had incurred. So a star off for the cancellation fee, and one for the initial poor response from the company, but do contact them if you have not used the service and ended up paying.

Hefty cancellation fee If you need to cancel because you can't afford it - too bad. They'll charge you a hefty cancellation fee anyway. It's wild that a cancellation fee even exists when it costs them nothing to remove the service.

Shutterstock wins worst customer service award This company does not deserve any stars at all. Different reps give conflicting information, cannot get a supervisor, when asked they simply get aggressive and stop responding. If there were an option for negative stars shutterstock wins the award for the worst customer service. Stay away from this company.
