If you've ever heard stories of people being forced into contracts by not reading the TOS well enough - this is one good example why you should always read it. Be careful when you sign up for subscription trials that require you to give them your card information. Businesses like Shutterstock trap you in their annual contract 2 days even before the trial has expired, and their monthly download limits are not brought over to the next month. They also charge you a cancellation fee even if you haven't utilised their services beyond the trial period and technically haven't used any of the months they've billed you for, taking back their "discount" on your 0 images downloaded. There are much, much better sites out there, try checking reddit for some and seeking out the threads that explain this kind of shadow UX and direct you to better stock image sites.
