It sounds too good!
but you must add the credit card, but says it will not be charged anything during these 7 days, but then yes, about $ 79.00 per month, if not cancel my account in the end of 7 days.
Someone is this?

    jorge I don't know if it's legit or not but personally I'd be very wary,careful ,especially with them sending to you not you contacting them.There is also the problem with giving you bank/credit card info ,sometimes it's really hard to get them to actually cancel you even though they say they will,it could take a couple of months during which they are getting 80 bucks out of you . .......

    I think that credit card subcriptions have to be cancelled at the merchant's end. So while you can request a cancellation they can continue taking money for as long as they like.

    Yeah, that's what I'm afraid!
    I fear not being able to cancel in a timely manner, not to be charged as they say.
    I need to footages, but for a project ahead.
    and i have an account on clipcanvas for that.

    There's this company. Sign up for their newsletter and get a free sample every week. Can purchase individual loops. In the past I've bought a DVD or two from them. Worked very well.

    Afaik the 7 day trial is with limited downloads. From what i've heard your trial automatically becomes a paid membership when you go over the limit (without warning). I didn't do the free trial period so i don't know if it's easy to cancel or not, but i did get me an annual membership when there was a promotion for $99/year.
