What the about page [0] giveth "You gain access to many high-quality stock graphics and photos and that's all for free!", the terms of use [1] seem to taketh away "Images, other than comp images, may only be used commercially once you have entered into a license agreement and paid the relevant fee".

The TermOfUse will be updated. It is totally free but a link to the site would be appreciated. The reason for this bug is that the site was built as part of another website http://www.ImageRee.com that is a normal stock photo website. The termOfUse from that site has for some reason been published on this site.
Thanks for the update. For many images users, the T&Cs are just as important as the images, so it will be good to clear this up.
I agree - we will clear this up. Thanks for your help.
If you try to download an image, you're greeted with "Get access to the best collection of member generated royalty-free images, at the world's best prices. It's free and only takes a minute."

I'm not quite sure what's free. :|

That is a bug and will be corrected. The site is free but a link to the site would be appreciated.

Just try to download an image, and read the text on the right side. You'll see what I posted. :) Good luck with the new project!
